When Heroes Aren't There To Save You: The Song
Verse 1:
This story does not have a happy start.
It will make you cry if you have a heart.
A filly in a foster home abused day to day.
'No beatings today' she would always pray.
She asks her idol one day to teach her to fly.
She always hides the many tears she cries.
Chorus:
When heroes aren't there to save you
When heroes don't give a damn
When heroes aren't there to save you
You must fight the war instead
Verse 2:
Her mentor had her muscles in great pain.
She practiced in the sun and in the rain.
Her stomach forced out her dinner.
There is no doubt she came out thinner.
She received smacks for her mistakes.
It was something she was willing to take.
Chorus:
When heroes aren't there to save you
When heroes don't give a damn
When heroes aren't there to save you
You must fight the war instead
Verse 3:
She remained strong, through and through.
It ended with a party. With her friends, too.
It was great fun to play through the night.
It was all because she mastered flight.
When she went back home she did lose.
She got more than just a bruise.
Chorus:
When heroes aren't there to save you
When heroes don't give a damn
When heroes aren't there to save you
You must fight the war instead
Verse 4:
She woke to being with two broken legs.
Her friends wanted to know and did beg.
Her foster mom was now gone and dead.
Unless adopted to Manehattan she'd be lead.
Being the daughter of her idol would be the best.
Idol only told of race where she would beat the rest.
Chorus:
When heroes aren't there to save you
When heroes don't give a damn
When heroes aren't there to save you
You must fight the war instead
Verse 5:
She did race against her mentor
She wished to beat her teacher
She did win against her idol
But alas it did have a toll.
She survived what none should.
Adoption, her idol soon would.
Chorus:
When heroes aren't there to save you
When heroes don't give a damn
When heroes aren't there to save you
You must fight the war instead
Filly Angel
Verse 1:
I have not wings to follow you, and I know not where you go.
I cannot fly to heaven far to ever let you know,
But your wings were made for angels, irreplaceable in their worth,
So goddesses have now take an angel back from earth
I just hope you hear my hymn from wherever you may be
We hope you are enjoying heaven and that it has set you free
Chorus:
You are never coming back to us, but that is quite alright
As long as you are enjoying heaven, we shall make it through the night
You are the filly angel, the one who never grew
You are the filly angel, and we shall forever miss you
Verse 2:
You might have passed away, but that doesn't mean you really left
You are still a memory in our hearts, something that cannot theft
All the happy times we have shared and all the sad ones too
The "could have been" memories that we might have shared with you
All of these keep you in our thoughts, so you have not truly gone
You are still here in our hearts; it is only your body that is done
Chorus:
You are never coming back to us, but that is quite alright
As long as you are enjoying heaven, we shall make it through the night
You are the filly angel, the one who never grew
You are the filly angel, and we shall forever miss you
Verse 3:
Someday we'll meet again, in a lovely place called heaven
But until we do, just remember us and enjoy your heaven
Someday the pearly gates will open to us too, and we will see you again
But until that time, we will always remember you, starting now and ending then
You our are deceased friend, and impossible to replace
Yes you are the filly angel, and your memories won't be misplaced
End Chorus:
You are never coming back to us, but that is quite alright
As long as you are enjoying heaven, we shall make it through the night
You are the filly angel, the one who never grew
You are the filly angel, and we shall forever miss you
Yes, you're the filly angel and we shall never forget you
Strong
Strong is what this filly is.
She has been through so much.
But she prevails.
Even the darkest night,
She makes it through with no light.
She has no home
But she does not mope
She is well and copes
Nopony knows of this
She is quite aright with this
She had no love in her former home
Hits and insults met her at the door
She remained strong and prevailed
She fell from pain but always got right back up
She left there forever and now that is all behind
She is bullied by many of her classmates
She has no mark to prove her worth
She has not found her special place
She is one of the few who have none
They all prevail together
Flight is a skill she has yet to learn
It is often met with bruises and cuts
But she gets right back up and tries again
She is determined to fly one day
She will make it
Life through everything it could at her
She prevailed though it all
She can survive anything
Because she is strong
I Wish Tears Were Bits
I wish tears were bits. I've cried so many I would be rich. I wouldn't have to live in the clubhouse. I wouldn't have to forge or steal for food. I would be able to get a yearly flu shot so I don't get as sick as I usually do. I would already be made for life with the amount I've cried already. My name is Scootaloo and I don't have a bit to my name. I have no home. I have no food. I am always sick. I have no family. All I have are my two friends, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle...
...And I cry because of what might happen if they find out.
