1.	Great to be Different (feat. Decibelle) [10th Anniversary] 06:33	lyrics	buy track
[Forest] 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 [Both] 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 [Forest] I turned around and I saw her at my door That cute grey mare with the wall-eyed stare She said: [Decibelle] 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 [Forest] 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 [Both] 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

about

Ten years ago I received a letter, and that letter inspired a song, and that song inspired so many of you. To those of you who are still here in 2022, thank you. Thank you for never giving up, for never letting others tell you who you're supposed to be, and for maintaining hope that some day we can all make this world a better place.

This album includes the high-quality download, instrumental and karaoke versions of the 10th anniversary edition of Great to be Different.
