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
