Literature Text

Up above the clouds so high,
Is where I’m meant to be.
Flying with the birds up there,
Everypony looking up at me.
But that is not the world
That I was born into.
Four hooves on the ground,
Please tell me what I’m meant to do.

Grass so green and sky so blue
Why can’t I fly along with you.
Everypony laughs at me,
they say it’s just a dream.
But I’ll show them, Someday they’ll see
That I’ll be flying high, and flying free.

Princesses, please hear my wish,
To be more than what I am.
Just a chance to spread my wings,
and rise above the land.
With your help I know I could
Join the other pegasi
And live with them up in,
Their city in the sky

Grass so green and sky so blue
Why can’t I fly along with you.
Oh Luna please tell me that
it’s not just a foolish dream.
That someday I’m gonna make them see
That I’ll be flying high, and flying free.

I know I shouldn’t beg for working wings.
I can’t help feeling that I am meant
for bigger things.
Instead I am stuck here down below
knowing that I may never go.

Swimming through a sea of clouds,
Or racing on the breeze.
To see what the world is like
many miles above the trees.
But for now, I’ll just live my life,
Loving everything I’ve got.
My precious friends and an awesome scooter,
yeah they sure all mean a lot.

Grass so green and sky so blue
I’ll have to wait to fly with you.
And on that day they won’t say,
It was just a dream.
Someday I know I’m gonna see
What it’s like to be flying high, and flying free.
So this is a song I just wrote inspired by the show My Little Pony: Friendship is magic. Originally it was written from the perspective of a nameless Earth pony OC, but halfway through I thought, "Man, this would work so much better for Scootaloo." So yeah, if it wasn't obvious (the scooter should be a giveaway), this song is about Scootaloo's desire to fly just like the other pegasus ponies, and how she's sad that it might never happen.

I'm not really sure about the last verse of the song. Halfway through writing it, I realized that I didn't want to end it on a sad note, so I turned things around a bit, and left it hopeful, saying that she's happy with everything she has right now, but won't give up on her dream of flying. And yes, I'm aware that the lyrics are a bit simplistic; I wrote it in a few hours, and it's also my third attempt at song writing. Trust me when I say that compared to my other songs, this is my magnum opus.

Update: I just did a recording of this song using the camera on my iPod, and I posted it on youtube. If you like the lyrics, feel free to check it out here www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHTIaJ…

I really love how this is written and how it is from Scoot's point of view. I think you have great potential in this area definitely! I don't know if you intend to sing yourself or not but if you ever want a female singer, I'd happily audition for you for this! ^^
