Hummingbird

She spread her wings, and tried to take flight

To catch up with her hero, who was always just out of reach.

Her wings fluttered at her sides, a hummingbird in flight

But even the strongest fliers start out small.

She picked herself of the ground, and saw the rainbow streaked mare fly out of sight

No tears shed, as the small filly stares determinedly ahead

Don’t worry flightless hummingbird, your wings will grow

Remember the strongest flies start out small.

You try, and try to fly across the sky

Catching up to heroes painted into the colors of rain

But now is not the time

Even the strongest fliers start out small

Days turned to months, months turned to years

She looks up to the painted sky, praying her rainbow hero will see

The struggle, the pain, and the sorrow

Soon, she prays, I’ll fly

But one to many falls were taken,

and now she sits alone crying to the hero that she is invisible to

Hope is fading, the light is breaking

Nothing but drops of rain

You try, and try to fly across the sky

Catching up to heroes painted into the colors of rain

But now is not the time

Even the strongest fliers start out small

Warmth protects against the cold

And she looks up to her hero painted with rain

A warm smile smiles across the face she adores

Reassurance passed, darkness fades for a small moment in her eyes

Days turned to months, and she is soaring on the ground

Faster than anypony dares to go

Following her painted hero on grounds stable base

Flying with her hero above her

You try, and try to fly across the sky

Catching up to heroes painted into the colors of rain

But now is not the time

Even the strongest fliers start out small
