Lyrics[]
Twilight with the Crystal Empire flag.
- [Twilight Sparkle]
- Princess Cadance 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 liked jousting
- [Rarity]
- They flew a flag of many hues
- [Applejack]
- Made sweets of crystal berries
- [Fluttershy]
- They had a petting zoo with tiny ewes
- [All]
- 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 flugelhorn
- That every pony liked to play
- [Twilight Sparkle]
- And the Crystal Kingdom anthem
- Can you learn it in a day?
- [All]
- Oh, we have to get this right
- Yes, we have to make them see
- We can save the Crystal Ponies with their history
