## Lyrics

### Original

**[Cutie Mark Crusaders]**
Woke up this morning feeling tired and small
But look at us now - we must be ninety feet tall
Don't have to worry 'bout making mistakes
Because being big is all it takes
**[Scootaloo]**
A tiny twist of fate brought on this big change
Give me room, gotta zoom, I've got plans to arrange
Can do what I want, be it run, trot, or traipse
'Cause being big is all it takes
**[Cutie Mark Crusaders]**
Being big isn't just a size
At bedtime we don't even have to close our eyes
We're in control now, for goodness' sake
'Cause being big is all it takes
**[Sweetie Belle]**
Leaving behind the little pony you've known
Stepping out, growing up, making moves of my own
You can't tell me no, there's no place I can't go
Mountains, cities, jungles, or lakes
'Cause being big is all it takes
**[Cutie Mark Crusaders]**
Being big isn't just a size
We'll tell you our opinion 'cause we're oh, so wise
We're in control now, for goodness' sake
'Cause being big is all it takes
**[Scootaloo]**
I can eat all the snacks 'cause that's for me to decide
**[Apple Bloom]**
We know how it all works, even what we ain't tried
**[Sweetie Belle]**
Facts don't matter now 'cause it's not what we know
We can win any argument with...
**[Cutie Mark Crusaders]**
"Because I say so!"
Can't stop us now, don't try to stand in our way
We're awake, gonna take all we can from today
Once we had to listen, now you'll hear what we say
Everything is always okay
'Cause being big is all it taaaaaakes
All it takes!
### Being Pony is All It Takes (Nature Pony Up!)

**[Nature Cat, Hal, Daisy and Squeeks]**
Woke up this morning feeling tired and normal
But look at us now - we are standing on all fours
Don't have to worry 'bout making mistakes
Because being pony is all it takes
**[Squeeks]**
A tiny twist of fate brought on this big change
Give me room, gotta zoom, I've got plans to arrange
Can do what I want, be it run, trot, or traipse
'Cause being pony is all it takes
**[Nature Cat, Hal, Daisy and Squeeks]**
Being pony isn't just a size
At bedtime we don't even have to close our eyes
We're in control now, for goodness' sake
'Cause being pony is all it takes
**[Nature Cat and Daisy]**
Leaving behind the cat/bunny you've known
Stepping out, growing up, making moves of my own
You can't tell me no, there's no place I can't go
Mountains, cities, jungles, or lakes
'Cause being pony is all it takes
**[Nature Cat, Hal, Daisy and Squeeks]**
Being pony isn't just a size
We'll tell you our opinion 'cause we're oh, so wise
We're in control now, for goodness' sake

Everything is always okay
'Cause being pony is all it taaaaaakes
All it takes!

But look at you now - you must be fifteen years old
Don't have to worry 'bout big old bone aches
Because being young is all it takes

Being young isn't just a size
