Great To Be Different

from Phoenix Winter: MLP Songs · host Phoenix Winter

(Requested By: Aidan Renner)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 starI 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

Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011.Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) Random Song Encounters Gene Vincent The idea is presenting a weekly random playlist of songs with commentary, and no specific ties to decade, genre, popularity, or anything else. Mostly from the world of rock and pop, but occasionally venturing into other musical genres when the urge strikes. Something to keep me occupied and out of trouble… Heroes and tales of Old Britain Lunapilot Beloved Britain celebrated in song. Some are humorous in intent, some merely in retrospect, some are just here because Wavlake doesn't have a "Random influences" category for albums and everyone's humour is different anyway! The subheading "Novelty" is probably a better fit as most of these songs you will only want to hear once! ;) Oh, all songs in this album were made using Udio.
