My Little Balladeer

Lyra's Song

Lyra's Song

To find humans I've always vowed.
They called me crazy, they called me mad
For chasing a silly old fad.
Laughing as their words made me sad.
Well everypony who's laughing now?!

All of you take a look and see,
Then try to tell Lyra she's insane!
He wears clothes but has no mane,
So will your criticism wane?
Now do I have all eyes on me?

He has tricks that could make Twilight bow!
He's better than I could have dreamed!
It's even better than it seemed!
I'll go from outcast to esteemed!
It looks like Lyra's laughing now!

We ask you gather round the stage
Listen to what he has to say.
Want answers? You don't have to pay.
Oh, you wanted that hidden away?
Sorry! He let it out of the cage!

You've treated me like a mad cow,
Now Master Thorn will make me strong!
With his help I'll prove you all wrong!
Sorry you laughed at me for so long?
Is it because I'm laughing now?!

...No! Please! This isn't what I wanted...
I didn't want anyone to die...
This whole mess is no dream of mine...
Just a bad nightmare based on lies...
And Bon Bon's still with the haunted...

Innocents have suffered, I am how
Now a madman has become a god.
Because I fell for his facade
By not wanting to be thought odd
His laughter's all I hear now.

...Twilight and friends are coming now
To defeat him and save us all
I have to believe they won't fall.
Evil will fall, good will stand tall
I'll make things right, I don't know how.

His victory they won't allow
They are not afraid of his might
With their friend's help they end the fight
Darkness lost to music and light
It will be their turn to laugh now.

...A second chance I am endowed
Bon Bon is free Thorn is banished
But my misdeeds have not vanished.
I'll need to clean off the tarnish.
I'll laugh again someday, not now...

...And that my friends is...my new vow....
