Lyrics

Mr. Thicknose 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 may 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 is 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
