I am a big pony
I'm not a baby
I can take care of myself
I stopped biding my sense of welfare
I sacrificed all these years to get here
Holding onto the hope that somewhere
My life would be clear
Don't blame my lack of direction
I've found myself
I spent more time on reflection
Than I tell myself
Scootaloo, you say you've spread your wings
You're off to a brand new start
For you, it always seems that
Nothing falls apart
Sweetie Belle, you've got raw talent
We all know that you'll go far
But every year, it's getting harder
To tell where you even are
Where did time fly?
It will never be as simple as, simple as was before
I can't rely
On the shield that I call innocence, innocence anymore
I dropped by the apple harvest
I stuck out like a red-nosed reindeer
The only one with no sign of progress
I swear I'd have this year
Don't blame my lack of direction
I've found myself
I spent more time on reflection
Than I tell myself
Applejack, you say you know what's best
Always looking out for the farm
Back then and still today, it's like
I initiate a call to arms
Big Mac, you're single-minded
Not everything is yes or no
You think that red is always green
And that when I say stop, you go
Where did time fly?
It will never be as simple as, simple as was before
I can't rely
On the shield that I call innocence, innocence anymore
Today's the day, Cutie Mark Crusaders
I can just feel it
Today's the day we're all gonna get our Cutie Marks
Don't let me down
I won't strike out again
Far from this town
Is where I will begin
To bring myself
To sacrifice each and every dream
I had
Of baking treats
Selling apples, ziplining over a stream
I'm tired of waiting for
A chance to shine
A chance to breathe again
Why can't I see?
Far from this town
Is where I will begin
Where did time fly?
It will never be as simple as, simple as was before
I can't rely
On the shield that I call innocence, innocence anymore
Oh yeah, that makes much more sense
