There was a boy, he was kind of shy Ate apples and fluttered in rays of sunshine He'd had a dream since he was a wee He'd dress up just like what he wanted to be I'm gonna be a pony, that's what I'm gonna do I'm gonna be a pony and my life is gonna start anew I blew my birthday candles, I wished upon a star So look out world, I'm coming home, no one can tell you who you are At school or home, each day he dressed up But found wearing horse skin just wasn't enough And being a boy had caused him much strife He figured he needed a more stable life I'll live among the ponies, that's what I'm gonna do I'll live among the ponies and my life is gonna start anew I blew my birthday candles, I wished upon a star So look out world, I'm coming home, no one can tell you who you are I'm gonna be a pony, that's what I'm gonna do I'm gonna be a pony and my life is gonna start anew I blew my birthday candles, I wished upon a star So look out world, I'm coming home, no one can tell you who you are No! This can't be! The world has turned while I've stayed still, what does it want from me? I've been confined All alone, ignored, defined by differences in minds I must be free But when I look in ponies' eyes, they barely even notice me And now there's nothing here for me, and now there's no remorse So beat me while I'm down, cause I'm a dead horse! He couldn't live inside a nightmare And nobody noticed when he wasn't there Each second he lived was a step in the ground So life's not a place to be horsing around Friendship's as real as magic is not As none of your buddies will mourn when you rot You're not one to blame, you can't help that you're you But sometimes our dreams just aren't meant to come true
