Great to be Different (10th Anniversary) ft. Decibelle Lyrics

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 for me 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

Cuz 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: 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 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

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

That 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

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 (Isn't it wonderful)

You'll become a shining star (Isn't it great)

When you learn to love just who you are
