It's 2AM or so Everyone left you alone You feel so bored and annoyed Trying to relax but you just can't sleep Crazy thoughts are buried in your mind so deep What if this is it, your life's breakpoint? Remember, while your heart is beating Whenever you feel like you're bleeding Every tragedy is so overstated Don't worry, never ever be upset Take a one-way road that lies ahead Get up and run with me instead Just keep on running No matter what they say And never turn back while the wind is blowing through your mane Just keep on trotting And leave your past behind Embrace every moment, let the future be your guide Just keep on running Forget that you can't fly Cause you don't need to now, you're just as free as pegasi Just keep on trotting No one can bring you down One day your hooves will take you off the ground Get up and run! So hard to find your way You fail to count your fails Everything goes wrong like you have four left feet Rewatching ponies fifty thousand times Memorizing every single line It just won't help you if you never try Inspiration never ever comes to you Imagination doesn't work, how to get through Everypony knows what i'm singing bout Forget it all, just move your feet Come out and listen to this beat Carry on the melody and sing it out! Just keep on running No matter what they say And never turn back while the wind is blowing through your mane Just keep on trotting And leave your past behind Embrace every moment, let the future be your guide Just keep on running Forget that you can't fly Cause you don't need to now, you're just as free as pegasi Just keep on trotting No one can bring you down One day your hooves will take you off the ground Get up and run!

We've always dreamed about Equestria, the land of wonders, And now we've found our special way. At last! The sun is high in an endless sky, we're getting on the board While walls of doubt are coming down with the very first chord The music art gets engine start, connecting friends who'll never part Bonded together by strings of their hearts! Chaga chaga chaga, We'll sing and dance together In the rhythm of the wheels - Up and down, plains and hills. Drop your worries through the window, Start your story joining in to Have some fun and care less On the board of Friendship Express! We're going to Equestria! Woo-hoo! We're gonna rock in Equestria, oh yeah! We're coming to Equestria! Chaga chaga chaga, We'll sing and dance together In the rhythm of the wheels - Up and down, plains and hills. Drop your worries through the window, Start your story joining in to Have some fun and care less On the board of Friendship Express!

I'm closing my eyes, I'm falling asleep My dreams are the same every night The dark gloomy sky turns into light blue The sun makes me blind Bright colors around, the world's upside down And I'm not afraid anymore I'll spread out my wings and fly so high As soon as I trot through the door Though the real world tries to stop me When my dreams are so fascinating I don't wanna know if the time is gonna Take its toll Whoa There is a way over the rainbow Whoa There is a way over the rainbow The world that surrounds me is not what it seems As long as I live my dreams A nice little town Hooves stomping the ground And pegasi napping on trees I'm bouncing on clouds And flying around Like in my wildest fantasies Dragons and caves An adventure awaits How can I refuse to stay there? In the world where friendship is the mightiest power Along with Fluttershy's stare Just relax and take it slow Watch all your worries fall far below Let your mind flow in the evening breeze And you will see Whoa There is a way over the rainbow Whoa There is a way over the rainbow The world that surrounds me is not what it seems As long as I live my dreams Tell me why should I stay down there 'Cause I would rather fly into the open air The world that surrounds me is not what it seems As long as I live my dreams I'll open my eyes, I'll watch the sunrise The world's not as bad as it seems As long as my rainbow shines for me I still will live my dreams

Sunbeam 05:27
The moon is setting quietly My night light's blinking, turned on low Still lonely sad and empty I was playing the same old piano song Suddenly my mind changed melody Jumping to A major from the minor D When the little spark turned my reality It lightened up my walls and ceiling Forcing my heart and fingers to stop This little shimmer twinkles Shinier than angel's teardrop Creating happy tunes around With voice so bright, the purest sound I swore to myself I'd never let it go And I never will, it shines for me, I know ~ I would never believe that it could be so hard To catch a little Sunbeam and hold in my arms But whatever it costs and whatever it takes I will fly to the sky, I will reach it someday I'll find my way to the place where the summer sun sets There are plenty of rays, but only one for me to get It jumps out off the horizon lighting up the whole sky A little beam of sunshine I was trying to find And when we're far apart, I'll watch it for a while This joyful twinkling reminds me of your smile I'll open up my windows, the light breeze in the air Brings back the feel when you hugged me and gently combed my hair So now all I want is to survive the other night To watch the morning sunshine, it will make me feel so right Cause I can't take my eyes off this little running light It fills the emptyness inside.. I would never believe that it could be so hard To catch a little Sunbeam and hold in my arms But whatever it costs and whatever it takes I will fly to the sky, I will reach it someday Cause every time I wake up I see your face In the morning light of these precious sun rays They are shining just for me keeping me warm It's just what I was looking for I'll find my way to the place where the summer sun sets There are plenty of rays, but only one for me to get It jumps out off the horizon lighting up the whole sky A little beam of sunshine I was trying to find For my whole life ~

Create a fantastic sound Filters turned on Twist handles all around Worries are gone Wub-wub-wubbing to the drop Track is hard, you'll never stop To make them feel the beat is all you want You set volume to the max So they can dance Neon lights are shining bright Putting in trance Crazy ponies on the street Hearts are beating to this beat And everything for them stopped making sence You never know if ponies like your song But you just need the party to go on and on and on And on Vinyl! Get up tonight Look at the moonlight dancing to your music Vinyl! Don't let it die! The city loves your beat, you cannot lose it Vinyl! Turn on the lights You're like a shooting star fell from the sky For ponies on the floor To keep the beat alive! Thousand ponies on the floor A huge success Even royalties are here You're always stressed Break it down, DJ-P0N3 You'll never happen to be free Without you party will just go to waste You never know if ponies like your song And sometimes you just want to be alone You'd like to come back home where you belong But you just need the party to go on They love your tracks so much You know that they're sincere And every time you see this crowd You shed a tear But you deserve it so Get used to it, my dear And have no fear And have no fear! Vinyl! Get up tonight Look at the moonlight dancing to your music Vinyl! Don't let it die! The city loves your beat, you cannot lose it Vinyl! Turn on the lights You're like a shooting star fell from the sky For ponies on the floor To keep the beat alive!

Empty Lonely, sad and empty Like someone burst right through my door And drank emotions to the core Empty Broken, lonely, empty I'm singing songs for noone I watch the sky without a sun Now I've got nowhere left to run When everything is said and done Empty Broken, lonely, empty When the world is just illusion Its existance is mistake People jumping to conclusions Nothing's real Nothing's fake What if you're just feeble thought In a maze of someone's mind? What if someday you were caught And your life was left behind? Then you'll look back where you came from So uncertain and so numb You will lose your way of living You'll forget it, you'll become Empty Devastated, broken, empty In the trap of my ideas They are flowing like a stream And I can't describe this feeling When I don't know how to feel I can see I can hear But I can't feel You can talk So tell me dear Am I real?

You hear baby crying Falling off the cliff? Buildings all destructed Here comes the sneaking thief Sinister noise of sirens Cutting out your ears When the panic fills the town She suddenly appears The black blur flying high Won't even catch your eye Ant you won't ever notice If she saves your life One more time When the darkness fils the sky She approaches in no time Flying over the scene of crime She watches with her eagle eye If there's trouble anywhere She'll always be there, you can tell Have no fear when she is here Your friendly neighbour Mare Do Well Cloud of smoke and she appears The master of surprise She'll swirl your mind and read it twice Once you look in her eyes You'd barely notice skinny suit Black mask and wide-brim hat When danger's coming she's here Just watch her silhouette The black blur soaring high Won't even catch your eye Ant you won't ever notice If she saves your life One last time When the darkness fils the sky She approaches in no time Flying over the scene of crime She watches with her eagle eye If there's trouble anywhere She'll always be there, you can tell Have no fear when she is here Your friendly neighbour Mare Do Well

Cold lights Woke me up again What's happening, who is it out there? This night Is like a thousand days... Wish I could look into her eyes and pray To crush my fears Mother, “Stay strong”, you said But never mentioned the inner darkness Father, I messed up so bad, My promises had perished at the moon What would you do to save her soul? Do I deserve this crown at all? Something inside me wants control, Now they’re not here… Why in the world am I awake at night? Why in the world are you not by my side? A thousand years feels like a minute - every sunrise and sunset Reminds me of you, and the time can't heal it Reminds me of how you kissed me goodnight, Though bedtime stories never taught me right. There's so much I never get to say, still, Every night and every day It’s only getting colder deep inside... So if I did this wrong, forgive me, I’m too weak to repay my debt; I’ll see you at the Bitter End, believe me... To run away To save the day

I’ve traveled across the land - from the arctic ice to the scalding sand. I’ve been following the silhouette I’ve seen in my dreams, like heaven-sent. So far away from home, Kept traveling alone. I’d run anywhere just to see her once again - my Princess of the Sun. What happened to the magic lands After these harrowing events, For once abandoned by the sun - It’s gone, and no one knows why! There must be something really wrong How could she disappear for so long And leave us on our own? My path has led me to a weird place, That kind that shocks with its dark beauty and grace. She walked in slowly, hiding her face The way she sneaked away on one of those days... I still recall that rainy night When They've been beaten by own fright Her sister moans beneath the sun But she is staying strong and calm I bowed to her and placed that heavy crown upon her head To serve her till the end What happened to her royal air? Her mighty form's no longer there It filled us all with faith and hope, Seems like her heart is dying! There must be something really wrong, She took away her hood and turned ~ I don’t recall the last time she was crying!..

[Starswirl] Hey, little girl. Tell me, why are you crying in the rain, little one? Tell me, why are your tears sparkling under the sun, Where everyone's your friend. You have it all. The royal castle, your sweet sister, Still, you don't know, How to hold the crown that fell on you two alone. You think you're gonna fail. When you think that you're lonely in this world, Look around - don't you feel they keep you warm? [Starswirl] Hey, grown-up girl. Years have passed but some things never change, are they not? Still staring at shadows of the past when you've got Those who needs you the most. <at the same time> [Celestia] It seems like I've never grown old, My awful mistake had already hurt Lives of those who needs me the most. [Celestia] After that fight, We were meant to rule together, staying side by side That wonderful utopia was ruined overnight, Now the whole world is at stake... <at the same time> [Starswirl] You’re still so afraid of making mistakes, But do you think King and Queen didn't stay When the whole world was at stake? [Celestia] Here I am - the mighty loner of this world. <at the same time> [Starswirl] Here you are - the mighty loner of this world! [Starswirl] Look around - everypony needs your word! [Starswirl] Princess, say, Was there any way To return the light of day? They'd be proud, you filled us with hope and faith, Taught to be brave, Your people today Need you more then ever. [Celestia] Now I see That demons in me Are much weaker than they seem. For the loved ones, I'll be stronger, I'll get real Surely I will Hold on and heal Their souls forever Cold lights Woke me up again Now everything becomes so clear This night Should come to an end - It's up to no one except me here [Starswirl] Princess, say, Was there any way To return the light of day? [Starswirl] They'd be proud, you filled us with hope and faith, Taught to be brave, Your people today Need you more then ever. [Celestia] To make them proud, to fill you with hope and faith, Teach to be brave My people today Need me more then ever! [Starswirl] Princess, see, ... Are much weaker than they seem. For the loved ones, we'll be stronger, we'll get real No need to fear, They're always here… <at the same time> [Celestia] Now I see Demons in me Are much weaker than they seem. For the loved ones, we'll be stronger, we'll get real No need to fear, They're always here… In the moonlight and the stars ________ [Starswirl] When she walked away she saw A thousand ponies, maybe more, Came all the way to Bitter End With no signs of terror That moment made her understand When everypony is your friend It's senseless to be so afraid - We’ll be together till the end, The brightest future shines ahead, It’s time to raise the sun again!

Party's over I try not to cry Cause it's so hard to say goodbye One rainy day The sky turned grey I saw the train taking you away I can still hear your awesome cheer These memories are so crystal clear They can't be washed away by an autumn rain So tell me, when will we meet again? The party's over But it's not the end We'll keep in touch, please don't be so sad I never thought it could feel so bad To say goodbye to the ones you just met Your songs were warming up our hearts Till working days teared us apart Come back again, we love you so Friendship is magic after all! I can still hear your awesome cheer These memories are so crystal clear They can't be washed away by an autumn rain So tell me, when will we meet again? The time will pass and anyway We'll meet once more, We'll all yell "YAY"! We'll share our stacks of the softest hay! So tell me when will we meet again We'll share our stacks of the softest hay! So tell me, when will we meet again?
