You'll Play Your Part is the sixteenth song of season four of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, featured in the twenty-fifth episode Twilight's Kingdom - Part 1. Part of the song was first revealed in a preview on TVGuide.com during the week leading up to the episode's premiere.[1] In this song, Twilight Sparkle doubts her role as princess, but Princesses Celestia, Luna, and Cadance assure her that she has a role to play.

Princess Luna sings her first solo during this song.

An instrumental version of the song is used in the last three levels of Hasbro's online game Key Crusaders.

Enterplay trading card series 3 card #27, as shown in an official image, erroneously lists the song as being featured in Season 1[sic] Episode 11[sic] Princess Twilight Sparkle, Part 1[sic].[2]

The song serves as the fifth track of the soundtrack album Songs of Harmony. It also serves as the seventh track of the My Little Pony 2015 Convention Collection.

Lyrics[]

Celestia, Luna, and Cadance circling around Twilight S4E25
[Twilight Sparkle]
It isn't that I'm ungrateful
For all the things that I've earned,
For all the journeys I have taken,
All the lessons that I have learned
But I wonder where I'm going now,
What my role is meant to be
I don't know how to travel
To a future that I can't see
I have my wings, I wear this crown
I'm a princess, this is true
But it's still unclear to me
Just what I am meant to do
I wanna have a purpose
Wanna do all that I can
I wanna make a contribution
I want to be a part of the plan
[Princess Celestia]
Your destiny's uncertain
And that's sometimes hard to take
But it will become much clearer
With every new choice you make
[Princess Luna]
Patience is never easy
I understand wanting more
I know how hard it is to wait
To spread out your wings and soar
[Princess Cadance]
But you stand here for a reason
You're gifted and you are strong
That crown is upon your head because
You belong
[Princesses Celestia, Luna, and Cadance]
Know that your time is coming soon
As the sun rises, so does the moon
As love finds a place in every heart
You are a princess; you'll play your part
[Princess Luna]
We understand you wanting more
A chance to shine, a chance to soar
[Princess Cadance]
Soon will come the day it turns around
[Princesses Celestia, Luna, and Cadance]
Know that your time is coming soon
As the sun rises, so does the moon
As love finds a place in every heart
You are a princess; you'll play your part
[Princess Celestia]
You are a princess; you'll play your part
