Forest Rain - Great to be Different lyrics

[Verse 1] 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-- [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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-- [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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'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* [Verse 4] 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~ [Chorus x2] 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 [Outro] 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
