When I was a little filly A galloping blaze overtook my city So they shipped me off to the orphanage Said "ditch those roots if you wanna fit in" So I dug a thousand holes And cut a rug with orphan foals Now memories are blurred, and their faces are obscured But I still know the words to this song When you're rife with devastation There's a simple explanation You're a toymaker's creation Trapped inside a crystal ball And whichever way he tilts it Know that we must be resilient We won't let them break our spirits As we sing our silly song ♪ You live life in such a hurry Snowballing into a slew of worries Simply put, you just can't slow down No time to smile and no time to frown But if you took a moment more To face your fears and soothe your sores I know it sounds absurd, but to misery, a cure Can be found in the words of this song When you're rife with devastation There's a simple explanation You're a toymaker's creation Trapped inside a crystal ball And whichever way he tilts it Know that we must be resilient We won't let them break our spirits As we sing our silly song ♪ When you've bungled all your bangles And your loved ones have been mangled Listen to the jingle-jangle Of my Pinkie tambourine 'Cause these chords are hypnotizing And the whole world's harmonizing So please, children, stop your crying And just sing along with me When you're rife with devastation There's a simple explanation You're a toymaker's creation Trapped inside a crystal ball And whichever way he tilts it Know that we must be resilient We won't let them break our spirits As we sing our silly song Don't let them break your spirit Just sing a silly song
