Great To Be Different

Lyrics:
FOREST RAIN:
It was a dark day when I lost my faith
I wasn\'t the pony I thought I\'d be
And it seemed that no one could relate
There was nothing left to see
So I took a walk to the edge of the town
And thought of leaving it all behind
When I saw a little letter fall right out of the sky
As a grey mare hovered way up high
I thought I was crazy when I saw her wave
And then simply fly away
So I opened the letter and looked inside
And what was written made my day...
It said--
"Isn\'t it great to be different?
Isn\'t it wonderful to be exactly who you are?
When you learn to start accepting yourself
You\'ll become a shining star"
To this day the writing on that page
Is mottled by the tears I shed
\'Cause at that moment something inside me changed
And a bright new path I lead
I ran back home and I picked up my old guitar
And I started strumming these chords
And I sang her words along with this song
And I heard someone sing along
And we sang--
Isn\'t it great to be different?
Isn\'t it wonderful to be exactly who you are?
When you learn to start accepting yourself
You\'ll become a shining star
I turned around and I saw her at my door
That cute grey mare with the wall-eyed stare
She said,
DERPY HOOVES:
I\'ve heard you play and sing before.
And I heard a sadness I could not bear.
I just wanted to tell you that the hardest thing I\'ve faced
Wasn\'t the teasing or the pain
It was convincing myself I wasn\'t stupid, strange, or lame
And helping others do the same.
*whistling*
FOREST RAIN:
These last few years flew by just like a blur
I\'m now exactly where I should be
And I know I owe it all to her
The beautiful mare who believed in me~
Isn\'t it great to be different?
Isn\'t it wonderful to be exactly who you are?
When you learn to start accepting yourself
You\'ll become a shining star (2x)
FOREST RAIN/DERPY:
You\'ll become a shining star/Isn\'t it wonderful
You\'ll become a shining star/Isn\'t it great
BOTH:
When you learn to love just who you are'
