'Twas the darkest night you've never seen.
Our nightmares had escaped our dreams.
As we faced our terrors, we thought that we were done.
And we feared we would not live to see the rising sun.
It seemed certain that we would fall.
And that we soon would loose it all.
When fear and darkness ruled the land, and ponies ran and hid,
While they had given up all hope, what do you think I did?
I laughed.
I laughed like I never had before.
My terrors stopped, and I laughed more.
'Twas then, amid the shadows' screams,
That I had dared again to dream.
I laughed away my fears,
The darkness, and my tears.
I laughed until the dark turned light,
My soul escaped that darkest night.
And when I found that I'd been freed,
I turned to help those sill in need.
I taught them how to laugh and grin
To overcome the dark within.
And as they did, the dark without
Vanished while we pranced about.
And soon the sun did rise again,
And not just on the horizon.
I've still not stopped, and through the years
I've conquered all my deepest fears.
Now one last laugh, I soon will share,
When Death himself comes for this mare.
Don't mourn for me, just laugh on.
Spread smiles with a happy song.
And when the shadows do draw nigh,
Remember the laugh of your Granny Pie.
