Lyrics

 * [Twilight Sparkle]
 * Princess Cadence needs our help
 * Her magic will not last forever
 * I think we can do it
 * But we need to work together
 * We have to get this right,
 * Yes we have to make them see
 * We can save the Crystal Ponies with their history


 * [Rainbow Dash]
 * It says that they like jousting


 * [Rarity]
 * They flew a flag of many hues


 * [Applejack]
 * Made sweets of crystal berries


 * [Fluttershy]
 * They had a petting zoo with tiny ewes


 * [Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy and Spike]
 * Oh we have to get this right,
 * Yes we have to make them see
 * We can save the Crystal Ponies with their history


 * [Pinkie Pie]
 * There was a crystal flugel horn
 * That every pony liked to play


 * [Twilight Sparkle]
 * And a Crystal kingdom anthem
 * Can you learn it in a day


 * [Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy and Spike]
 * Oh, we have to get this right,
 * Yes we have to make them see
 * We can save the Crystal Ponies with their history
