Hey everypony!  Sorry this song has taken so long to get out (especially since I haven't ACTUALLY put out a new song since January,) but I hope you all will think it was worth the wait.  I definitely think it's the best one we (me and my amazing family) have done so far.

Those of you who are well versed in the folk/bluegrass arena may already know the tune. (I know... I know, I need to get on doing some original melodies... but what the hay, bluegrassers and folk singers have been usurping folk melodies for there own purposes for generations...)  For those of you who don't know, the melody is a good old song by the name of "Sally Ann."  Here's an interesting tidbit that I didn't find out until after I had this song written, "Sally Ann" is apparently known in old-time circles as the unofficial county anthem for Surry County North Carolina (at least according to my Appalachian Music professor.)

Who Can Fly Like Fluttershy
By: Skypause

Calls from above when she did fall
Off of a cloud in front of them all
Fluttershy can hardly fly
When they laughed at her she thought she'd die

The teasing cut her hard and deep
Then she went home to cry and weep
A stronger flyer she was not
She much preferred to walk and trot


Fluttershy can hardly fly
Who can fly like fluttershy
Who can fly like fluttershy
Fluttershy can hardly fly


When she fell from the sky she got her mark
For things that would growl and moo and bark
She lived on the ground near the Everfree
As meek as anyone could be.

When Cloudsdale needed water that day
To keep the dry of draught away
Rainbow Dash took to the sky
With too few wings to make it by


Fluttershy can hardly fly
Who could fly but Fluttershy
Who could fly but Fluttershy
But Fluttershy can hardy fly


Fluttershy knew she would fail
Not enough wing power upon the scale
She knew no difference she would make
But her friends she could not now forsake

Her friend Twilight gave a kind word
Her faith in herself to undergird
Support was all she needed that day
To keep her own self doubt away


Fluttershy can hardly fly
Who could fly but Fluttershy
Who Could fly but Fluttershy
But Fluttershy hardly fly


She took off with the wind in her mane
And then she flew like a hurricane
The water shot up to the sky
And when they cheered for her she thought she'd die


Fluttershy can really fly
Who can fly like Fluttershy
Wow can fly like Fluttershy
Fluttershy can really fly

Fluttershy can really fly
Who can fly like Fluttershy
Who can fly like Fluttershy
Fluttershy can really fly
