Teacher, I can't make sense of your plan I know you know the stories just as well as I You too must have seen the signs So why'd you send me away? (I need you to have faith) I'm sure I'd be able to help if I stayed
But I'll go if that's what you desire I'll do my duty to you, but I wonder...
Teacher, I just don't see the point In setting up a celebration While the last days of our nation might be upon us But nobody listens to the threat of the wicked night mare's eternal night of despair
I don't want to hear about the party downstairs I don't care if the punch is amazing Everypony in this town is crazy And as I look up at the stars Missing all that once was mine The joyous sounds from below just make me realize that
Ponyville nights are the loneliest nights of my life 'Cause I'm far away from everything I used to rely on
Teacher, sorry to have doubted I was proven wrong by those I've come to call my friends Did you know all along I'd learn so much in my stay? And did you know that though my duty was done I wouldn't wanna leave; not after I had found this new kind of magic? Did you know I had it in me? Was I always meant to find it?
Nonetheless, I'm glad to keep it I know there's no other place I'd rather be And as I look up at the stars I can feel a spark alive inside of me Funny how nothing worked as planned Yet I've never felt this alive
Ponyville nights are the happiest nights of my life 'Cause I found a place to call home, a place where I belong
