[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!
