I saw you ride the northern lights down here on earth as they pass by if only you could see me here a bystander so far away a glimpse I see a dim flicker a distant light suddenly near I'll raise my hand towards the sky if only birds could teach to fly when worlds collide we'll be together the starlit sky will shine forever we're like a flash we'll go out shining bright the star and the firefly (x2) I saw you gaze upon the sky your world's so small yet you're so bright the years go by soon you will leave to find your way to chase your dreams the galaxy I'd leave behind so bright and yet so dark inside I've grown too fond of life up here oh what i'd give to once see clear when worlds collide we'll be together the starlit sky will shine forever we're like a flash we'll go out shining bright the star and the firefly (x2) and in our time we are the ones that shine and we will brighten up the night sky we are the sun we are the brightest light the star and the firefly

Why do you lie to everyone? Is it because you think it’s fun? ‘cause you’re not fooling anybody with your games I see the truth, love I see through you We can pretend this isn’t real And that it’s all for fun, but I know the way you really feel And as for me, well… Wouldn’t you like to know? Why do you try to run away? Is it because you feel afraid? ‘cause I can promise you without a second thought: There is a bond here We’ve waited too long We can pretend this isn’t real And that it’s all for fun, but I know the way you really feel And as for me, well… Wouldn’t you like to know? We can pretend this isn’t real And that it’s all for fun, but I know the way you really feel And as for me, well… Wouldn’t you like to know?

Prey on the hearts that tried to neglect us Prey as a mind they disrespect us Prey on the kind that did protect us Prey on the pain that they have caused us Prey on all the lies they told us Prey on all the times they bought and sold us Take back all the times they tried to forget us Acting like they never met us They see us They hate us The ugly faces of the kind they wish they never knew They made us Betrayed us The love they gave us Now we take it; nothing they can do

Go ahead with wicked grins; Celebrate your victory. But this is not the end: You'll never get rid of me. Keep working on your plans, But you should plan on me. Stop acting so surprised: You'll never get rid of me, 'cause, I'll always be here. I am constant x4 When trouble comes to play, And tries to set evil free, You'll know I'm on my way. They'll never get rid of me. If it seems like something's wrong, You shouldn't look for me. I'm never truly gone. They'll never get rid of me, yes, I'll always be here, yes, I'll always be... I am constant x4

She will be the end of you And yet you love her all the same It was so hard to let her go To go through that again In the dark you can feel it rise There’s no one there so you’re not surprised You start to think that you should never have sent her away In your memories she’s always kind But a thought gnaws at the back of your mind That twilight comes at the end of the day Why are you scared to hear her say She’s coming back today And as a star begins to rise Another one leaves the sky Why are you scared to become grey You know it has to be this way And as a star begins to shine Another one slowly dies

I don't feel silent any more I know where I'm supposed to be crushed my enemies long ago the last one left to go was me but you were cold enough to burn I kept my feelings out of view you held my head against the flame and made me give my crown to you lead of spirit but lucky all the same sweet taste of empires crumbling in the gloom napkin men with metal hearts surround us drawing nearer, bodies fill the room ah, talking heads parade their faces every day showing us the way to think and feel helping us to understand the rich man's point of view they said it on the news and now it's real

I found a place Where our kind can be free A mobile city floating on an invisible sea A facility for this land's majesty We're free as the sky We can go where we please Why don't we build a home as grand as we? The open skies can resonate our reverie We've made a place That's more grand than we dreamed We found a home to immortalize our grandiosity An awesome ship to put the throne to rivalry Oh what a magical place And we owe it all to the Pegasus Race Our kind guards the pearly white gates to the divine As we set our course No fear and nothing to lose Our destiny is nothing more than what we choose Where are we now? The future's too bright to see Our might and awe can only grow exponentially Restless souls approaching immortality And we're singing Oh what a magical place And we owe it all to the Pegasus Race Our kind guards the pearly white gates to the divine From now until the end of time

Endless cold nights and dark abyss The White Snow outside reflects my blackness Empty eyes, broken body, surrounded by loneliness Armor and wall of thorns Keeping my soul from injury But why do I still feel lost and alone Alone may not be as bad But my tears can't stop shedding I don't want to be this anymore Whoever do I live for Please encourage me to move forward I can't take this lonesome anymore Please just give me a chance to open my heart Your white fur and sweet smile Warm hooves touching my cheeks At this moment I feel like I can change I may still be a little anxious Afraid of wether or not this is a lie But I've decided and I believe I can forget the past Alone may not be as bad But my tears can't stop shedding I don't need to be this anymore You are the reason why I live The way of movement I've never had before The sun shines all over me Together forever You open my heart

Maud may not play the same games as you or I, If you look closely, her pet might not even be alive, Maud may not have the best taste in poetry, But just get to know her, I swear you’ll see What does Pinkie see in that mare? What does Pinkie see? It’s not for certain, It’s not for us to say, But it’s for her that, we’re going back today, It’s not a huge pain, but it’s not profit or fun, But if she’s happy, then our job here is done There’s got to be something else there, but it’s not clear to me, What does Pinkie see in that mare? What does Pinkie see? It’s not for certain, It’s not for us to say, But it’s for her that, we’re going back today, It’s not a huge pain, but it’s not profit or fun, But if she’s happy, then our job here is done

How long have you suffered in silence every night, for how have you thought this was the way to set things right? For how long have you bared the burden of this curse? Surely you can see that you’re only going to make things worse The only ones you can atone too, are the ones inside your mind, we forgave you long ago, and we left that all behind, You’ve got to forgive yourself, just like the rest of us, we believe in you, now , give us your faith and trust. A flame is it’s own source of brightness,can’t you see, the only one who can forgive you sure as heck isn’t me, We know all about your past and we love you all the same. Take a step back and you will see that you are a Starlit Flame. The only ones you can atone too, are the ones inside your mind, we forgave you long ago, and we left that all behind, You’ve got to forgive yourself, just like the rest of us, we believe in you, now , give us your faith and trust.

so as the clock keeps ticking away, and as I sit here nervously, not the same but she feels like the right thing, and the way she smiles it makes mine heart sing, she asked for lessons so I gladly obliged, but now I'm lucky to be alive, as she's playing and playing away, someone please help me, Never know whats coming next never know just what to expect, and I know and i know that i've got these feelings for her inside, and now its time i made my move, cause were both lost up in the groove, and i know and i know that theres only one thing that it could be, its only rock n roll, such a smooth voice, and quick hands, the way she plays it makes me wish that she could understand, that I’ve been waiting for the moment to come so I can tell her how I feel cus I’m about to give up on, with this last chance I’ll show her how I feel , I’ll play my heart out , i’ll make the strings squeal, cus this is our time, I’ll make my dreams real, I’ll play my heart down on the strings of steel, never know whats coming next never just what to expect and we know and we know, that we had these feelings deep down inside, and now its time we made our move, cause this musics got so much groove, and we know and we know that theres only one thing it could be, its only rock n roll

Well I’d never never admit it to the princess, But sometimes I feel like there’s gotta be more than this, And I probably will never admit it to myself, But there’s gotta be more than these books and these statistics When I stare at the moon at midnight, sometimes it feels like like it’s staring back at me, When I stand all alone in the moonlight, Everything else disappears and it’s all I see. Well, I’d never admit it to my sister, But sometimes I think that she was right, and I can’t wait to be back down among them, To open my eyes and see the Twilight. When I stare at the Earth at midnight, Sometimes I get sad for reasons I can’t explain, I get the feeling when I stand alone in the sunlight, There’s someone out there and I just don’t know her name.

You never had the guts To rise above the rust Feathered dreams Sunlight beams You will eventually clutch Baby steps Into depths Of skyly space... too much? chorus: Swing your wings Catch the moving air I know well you Like to play it fair Sky ballet And upon your way You will find Beauty in array verse 2: It's time you shone your soul Before you turn and fall Pegasi In the sky Dance their enchanted moves You shall see Completely free The stairs, which lead the truth chorus

Shining Armor You told me not to cry But it's so.... hard... Ev'ry day that passes by Tears some more at my heart Shining Armor I know you meant your best When you stayed behind Without your heartfelt sacrifice We might not have had the time But it still hurts Waking up without you here Even spells can't quell the fear That I might not get to see your face Or fall asleep held in your Embrace Ever again Or hear you tell me About your hopes, your fears, your dreams But although it's been so long My hope still runs strong So I'll keep searching on... My Wings Will carry our weight No matter how much they ache And I'll never stop Searching the world For signs of your escape... And if darkness would come And claim the hope that spurs me on I'll spend all of my days Waiting for The one who made my life A life worth fighting for
