Hadn't seen an MLP version of this yet, so we took matters into our own hooves! Could definitely use some polishing, but good enough to share and hopefully inspire some other Brony musicians!

Lyrics:

There once was a purple unicorn mare
With magic prowess beyond compare
Of powerful spells she had her share
But no friends of her own.

Soon may Celestia come
To banish the night and raise the sun
But one day when her lessons are done
Twilight will hold the throne

A student of the princess still
She was sent to live in Ponyville
So she grabbed her books and ink and quill
With the purpose still unknown

Soon may Celestia come
To banish the night and raise the sun
But one day when her lessons are done
Twilight will hold the throne

The ponies there were a friendly lot
But Twilight, she was too distraught
For of the Mare in the Moon she sought
To learn what was to come

Soon may Celestia come
To banish the night and raise the sun
But one day when her lessons are done
Twilight will hold the throne

When Nightmare Moon she did descend
To bring a night that would never end
Celestia’s charge to “make some friends”
Young Twilight still bemoaned

Soon may Celestia come
To banish the night and raise the sun
But one day when her lessons are done
Twilight will hold the throne

So deep in the Everfree forest she
Decided to go, for a prophecy
Had spoke of the Elements of Harmony
In a castle overgrown

Soon may Celestia come
To banish the night and raise the sun
But one day when her lessons are done
Twilight will hold the throne

With help from the ponies by her side
Each peril and danger they defied
And Twilight overcame her pride
Now Friendship’s magic shone

Soon may Celestia come
To banish the night and raise the sun
But one day when her lessons are done
Twilight will hold the throne

The Element’s power known to them,
They brought the Nightmare to its end
Now Princess Luna’s back again
Thanks to Twilight Sparkle and her friends

Hail, hail, the sisters come
To bring the night and raise the sun
But one day when her lessons are done
Twilight will hold the throne

Hail, hail, the sisters come
To bring the night and raise the sun
But one day when her lessons are done
Twilight will hold the throne
