So, as far as you can see: you're at the best that you can be;
But here you are in NYC taking calls for cups of coffee.
And you can dress around the best and run circles around the rest,
But you fail one little test about "paintin' the progressed".
So you intern under Polomare, (what a phony, what a square)
but you take great care to work that flair, you're one constructive mare.
But it's everypony for herself! You'll probably end up on a shelf!
And so the damage has been dealt, but you only blame yourself.
But don't let these ponies get you down.
You may see the good if you look around.
You're just fine, so get off that ground.
I can say, that you're the brightest star this town has ever seen.
I can say, that the path you chose will lead you to your dreams.
I can say, that even though you take your orders from a
scene queen you should let your screams remind her that you can always beat the scheme.
And one day you meet Ms. Rarity, the angel of Generosity.
You can't help but to disagree how Polo keeps the peace.
Events unfold, and though you're told to keep you mouth shut, in your soul
an angst and need to pay the toll of being gold begins to mold.
So pack your bags, you've got a plan! It's time to stick it to the man!
Polo's gonna get the can, and lose her own right hand.
Your kindness shines much like the sun and even moreso when you're done.
She'll get the prize, you'll get that rise up to the top - to number one.
Don't let that Polo kick you down.
Just let Rare's kindness lift the clouds.
You're gonna make this mare so proud.
I can say, that you're the brightest star this town has ever seen.
I can say, that the path you chose will lead you to your dreams.
I can say, that even though you take your orders from a
scene queen you should let your screams remind her that you can always beat the scheme.
[Solo]
You're one step closer to runnin' this town.
There'll be applause when she hits the ground.
Why can't you see: You're the best around.
I can say, that you're the brightest star this town has ever seen.
I can say, that the path you chose will lead you to your dreams.
I can say, that since you beat your way out of working for that
scene queen you can weave and seam the whole way to a spot-on-top supreme.

A quiet breeze, a gentle breeze,
watch it ebb and flow.
A wind at ease and leaves like these
let it all blow home.
A smile from you is all I need;
believe me, I have tried.
So call my name and let my wings
bring me to your side.
A quiet breeze, a gentle breeze
has never led astray.
So, take my heart and make it yours
forever and a day.

I see markings in the sand,
So I follow them for a while.
Then they stop so abruptly;
I look up as feathers fall.
They fly above the clouds,
Laughing, dancing like butterflies.
Why can't I be there, too,
Soaring high across the skies?
Cause these wings keep me grounded,
Tethered here on solid earth below.
But I know it'll all be worth it.
It's not as if I'll never ever know.
I'll be up there with them soon,
My silhouette scarring the moon.
The air will keep my form surrounded,
But till then these wings keep me grounded.
I see myself ten years down,
blazing, raising a crowd.
It might just be a dream now,
But I'll get there, somehow.
Some days they'll wanna help me out
Some days they just sit and spin.
I'll stump them all someday
And get outta this rut I'm in.
Cause these Wings keep me grounded
Tethered here on solid earth below.
But I know it'll all be worth it,
It's not as if I'll never ever know
I'll be up there with them soon.
My silhouette scarring the moon.
The air will keep my form surrounded,
But till then these wings take me
Higher and higher I go.
My face is all aglow.
I flap my wings,
The rise they bring
makes my body ache.
Take it slow.
Feeling the air flow.
The wax melts,
my body pelts
the ground, and so I wake.
[Bebop Solos]

A scene takes.
A heart breaks.
I can't believe that this is over when it just began.
Some short prose.
And your doors close.
Why invest in love when love can't even go as planned.
An audience
Of Circumstance.
You left them at the table, so here I stand.
Your eyes, a brilliance.
My heart, annoyance stinging me.
I find myself hallucinating
Your hair's so soft. And agitating.
I can hear the sounds we were creating
Your music's excruciating, intimidating blue.
I won't speak.
My strings squeak.
Life is at a stand still since you took your records home.
A show tonight.
Won't feel right.
I won't look out and see your face, won't set the tone
My love is gone now.
I vow, to leave it all behind.
I find myself hallucinating
Your hair's so soft. And agitating.
I can hear the sounds we were creating
Your music's irritating, intimidating
Blue hair's weird, anyways .
DJ's smeared these days
Red eyes, despised.
There's no reprise.
I find myself hallucinating
Your hair's so soft. And agitating.
I can hear the sounds we were creating
Your music's infuriating, intimidating-
I find myself satiated.
Her thoughts are bright, and educated.
I can hear her voice elevated
Goodbye commiserated, isolated Blue.

If it's groove you're looking for,
then you've come to the right place
Oh Octavia can't you see,
Classical is not the type for me
Now don't you look the other way,
cause this music's here to stay
Now wipe that grin right off your face
Cause it'll all be gone once you step into this place
So put down that cello or go grab a bass,
cause we're swingin' here tonight, this ain't no fancy music place.
You just gotta let it go, from everything that tells you no
Even if this is not your type of show, your type of show.
Maybe you've learned a thing or two,
'bout how fast those hooves can groove
Now c'mon just take a chance,
these beats will put you in a trance.
Now these things you just can't forget.
It would only bring regret
There's one thing you must know:
Ya' can't stop this crowd from stomping on this floor
So put down that cello and go grab a bass,
cause we're swingin' here tonight, this ain't no fancy music place.
You just gotta let it go, from everything that tells you no
Even if this is not your type of show, your type of show.
[Laughter]
[Guitar Solo]
C'mon! Let's really swing!
[Laughter]
Yeah!
So put down that cello and go grab a bass,

Even if this is not your type of show, your type of show.

My name is Pinkie Pie,
And I am here to say:
I'm gonna make you smile and I will brighten up your day!
It doesn't matter now,
If you are sad or blue;
'Cause cheering up my friends is just what Pinkie's here to do
'Cause I love to make you smile, smile, smile;
Yes I do.
It fills my heart with sunshine all the while;
Yes it does.
'Cause all I really need's a smile, smile, smile,
From these happy friends of mine!
I like to see you grin,
I love to see you beam.
The corners of your mouth turned up is always Pinkie's dream!
But if you're kind of worried,
And your face has made a frown;
I'll work real hard and do my best to turn that sad frown upside down
'Cause I love to make you grin, grin, grin;
Yes I do.
Bust it out from ear to ear, let it begin!
Just give me a joyful grin, grin, grin;
And you fill me with good cheer!
It's true some days are dark and lonely;
And maybe you feel bad,
But Pinkie will be there to show you that it isn't that bad.
There's one thing that makes me happy, and makes my whole life worthwhile:
And that's when I talk to my friends and get them to smile!
Mr. LTrain, ladies and gentleman!
[LTrain solo]
A-one two three!~
'Cause I love to see you beam, beam, beam,
Yes I do.
Tell me what more can I say to make you see,
That I do.
It makes me happy when you beam, beam, beam,
Yes it always makes my day!
[LTrain Solo]

I Truly Didn't

She'd been the one, that I'd looked up to.
An image of love and virtue.
Avert your eyes; this might be endless.
I had my disguise, that I'd burned to ashes.
Be still my heart, for once you linger.
You've got one chance, forget about her.
------------------------------------------------
All said and done, she lies there crying.
I fake a laugh, inside I'm dying.
I took my place and reap my efforts.
But all that I'd made would then been shattered.
Just as they thought, I wasn't prudent.
"Didn't you know?", I truly didn't.

Cheerfully

I'm not a lover or a mourner
for these lives to which we are prisoners.
So cheerfully, I succeed
in being tender, loving, and motherly.
Call me brother; lover; call me yours.
Call me anything that you adore.
And cheerfully, I'll concede
to be that anything you need.
Won't you take my lesson earnestly?
Love is not a simple guarantee.
And cheerfully, I agree
let the others falter, let them be.
Tell me we're together, bright eyed child.
Tell me you will love me, soft and mild.
And cheerfully, I can see
that you are everything I need.
