Here are the lyrics I wrote for the songs in the story, in chronological order, with links to the songs they were based on. All the songs you see here will be used in the story (eventually). I said there would be singing ponies, so By Luna's Convenient Book-Incinerating Spell, there will be singing ponies.
Yay.
I Bring the Sun (to everypony)
I bring the sun, do-dn-do-do
I bring the sun, and I say
It's all right
Little ponies, it's such a lonely time without you,
Little ponies, I'd like to know if you are near
I bring the sun, do-dn-do-do
I bring the sun, and I say
It's all right
Little ponies, there shines a light in everypony,
Little ponies, I will be waiting for you here
I bring the sun, do-dn-do-do
I bring the sun, and I say
It's all right
Sun, sun, sun, rise at dawn...
Sun, sun, sun, rise at dawn...
Sun, sun, sun, rise at dawn...
Sun, sun, sun, rise at dawn...
Sun, sun, sun, rise at dawn...
Little ponies, I feel the fears and doubts retreating
Little ponies, give me a sign if you can hear.
I bring the sun, do-dn-do-do
I bring the sun, and I say
It's all right
I bring the sun, do-dn-do-do
I bring the sun, and I say
It's all right
It's all right
Hey, look ahead
All fear and dread
I want to take off you
Hey, don’t be scared
I will be there
To help you along
To help you stay strong
I will guide you
I’ll be there, anywhere
Anywhen, I’m here
I’ll be there
You’ve got nothing to fear
I’ll be there, just say the word
There’s no need to be scared
Don’t be afraid
Of the next day
Go to sleep
I will keep
You safe and warm
Go to sleep
There’s no need
For alarm
Go to sleep, I’ll stay with you
And whatever we’ll do
Never be afraid
Of the next day
‘Cause I’ll be there, anywhere
Anywhen, I’m here
I’ll be there
You’ve got nothing to fear
I’ll be there, just say the word
There’s no need to be scared
Don’t be afraid
Of the next day
Don’t be afraid
Of the next day

“There’s no time to explain, but we could use your help with the dressmaker.”
“Say no more!”

There not used to always being nude
Making them some outfits might help
And get them to act a little less rude

“If I have to put up with you, they’re not going to get away that easily.”
Ponies out there are in trouble
They are scared and all alone
We need you and your special talents
To build a place that they can call home

“They’ve been here the longest. You’ll need some professionals to break the spell.”
“Just leave it to us. I know just the thing.”
You’ll need our help to get these ponies off their lazy rumps
They’re standing there, face a frown, and being great big grumps
But with our help we promise you’ll be off to a good start
We’ll make some fire to ignite the fire in your heart
“Stand back, everypony; this unicorn is hot!”
“Whoa!”
A true, true friend helps a friend in need
A friend will be there to help them see
A true, true friend helps a friend in need to see the light
That shines from a true, true friend

Ballad of the FiveScore'd Ponies
Princess Twilight needs our help
Discord will not wait forever
I know we can do it
But we need to work together
We have to get this right
Yes, we have to make them see
Show them Harmony and Friendship
And what we can be
I know there was much fighting
Between the countries and the towns
But I know they’ve a sense of justice
And I think we can help them turn around
Oh, we have to get this right
Yes, we have to make them see
Show them Harmony and Friendship
And what we can be
They made so many arts and sounds
More than you can see in a life
And every country has its anthem
To announce for what they strive
Oh, we have to get this right
I know we can make them see
Show them Harmony and Friendship
And what they can be
Disharmony is in their nature
There will be lows between the highs
But many try to change for better
To bring this place closer to paradise
We have to get this right
Yes, we have to make them see
Show them how to live in Friendship
And in Harmony
Oh we’re gonna get this right
And we promise it’s the truth
We will save our world from Discord
And save this one, too
