lyrics

I spent my life, in the shadow of others
I looked up to no one, no sisters or brothers
I have my friends. I have my enemies
Though none of them can trust me
To be one of them, outside of the system
To be one of the athletes. One of the athletes of cloudsdale
I flap my wings, but I still only fail
'cause I'm a loser, no one loves me
For who I am, just who I want to be
Nopony takes me seriously
What must I do? What must I own?
I fall in the dirt and the crowd cheers
I try to stall, so consumed by fear, alone
So I stay at home, where no one can watch
and I practice for the day when I'll be top notch

Three years have gone by, looking up at the sky
I wanna fly so high, but I feel like I could die
If I was ever put in that position
Surrounded by ponies and wishin'
I'd never tried and was dignified
Continue on on my mission
Workin hard, hopin' I can better myself
How's the health? I play every card
All in, for better or for worse
I'm afraid and im startin' to curse
I feel sick, like I'm needin' a nurse
But I won't quit now, not with all that at stake
I put in what I need to take out
(Here we go)

This is it, the edge of the roof
I'm terrified that I'll fall, and that's the truth
But what plan pony-made could be considered fool-proof?
I step out onto the edge, reached to try and dredge
Up all the courage that I had
Bring out the sad, the glad, the mad-ness
Feel no happiness, a decade being riddled by spite
I know now why I'm jumping from this height
Filled with fright, I have to bite my lip. Just a bit
But I'm ready, not feeling heavy
I'm light as the feathers in my wings
Feel the sting of the wind at my face
While staring through space
It's ok, I tell myself, go on at your own pace
Time to strap down, turn around, brace myself
and leap.
