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.
I 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 I looked inside.
And what was written made my day.
It said:
ChorusIsn'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 modelled 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 the song.
And I heard someone sing along.
We sang:
ChorusIsn'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.
A cute grey mare with the wall-eyed stare.
She said, "I've heard you playing and sing this before.
And I heard a sadness I could not bear.
I just wanted to tell 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 know exactly where I should be.
And I know I owe it all to her.
A beautiful mare who believed in me.
ChorusIsn'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.
