Lyrics[]

Mr. Thicknose
When I was young, I was was very shy.
Never seen or heard.
But when wanderers told of the Great Beyond,
I remembered every word.
As I grew older, I told those stories
as if I had lived them too.
In everyone's eyes I was good
I was wise to everyone but you
Everyone wants to be important
Everyone wants to be heard
Everyone wants to be the center of the circle
Where friends are hanging on your every word
No matter how close you are to an egg
Or how old you grow to be
Everybody needs somebody to listen
even somebody like me


Littlefoot
Everyone wants to be respected


Petrie
Everyone wants to be liked


Mr. Thicknose
Whether you've got three horns on your head


Cera
Or a beak that's sharp


Ducky
Or a tail that's spiked


Mr. Thicknose
When you want to be more fascinating
You might say things that aren't quite true
Everyone's tempted to fib sometimes


Littlefoot
Even someone good like you


Everyone
We want folks to admire us
We want someone to care


Littlefoot
We want to make a difference


Cera
And to know that others know we're there


Mr. Thicknose
But everyone has their own importance
That's what I've come to see
Everyone has their own special place


Petrie
In the nest


Cera
In the herd


Littlefoot
In the family


Mr. Thicknose
Respect's not a thing you can make someone give you
It's something you have to earn
Who would've thought after all this time
There were more things I had to learn


And thank you all for teaching me.


You're never... too old... to learn
