[Instrumental intro]
[Verse 1]
Teacher, I can't make sense of your plan
I know you know the stories just as well as I
You too must have seen the signs
So why'd you send me away?
(I need you to have faith)
I'm sure I'd be able to help if I stayed
But I'll go (I'll go, I'll go) if that's what you desire
(I'll go, I'll go) I'll go (I'll go, I'll go)
I'll do my duty to you, but I wonder...
[Verse 2]
Teacher, I just don't see the point
In setting up a celebration
While the last days of our nation might be upon us
But nobody listens to the threat
Of the wicked night mare's
Eternal night of despair
I don't want to hear about the party downstairs
I don't care if the punch is amazing
Everypony in this town is crazy
And as I look up at the stars
Missing all that once was mine
The joyous sounds from below
Just make me realize that
[Chorus]
Ponyville nights are the loneliest nights of my life
'Cause I'm far away from everything I used to rely on (Whoa)
[Instrumental interlude]
[Verse 3]
Teacher, sorry to have doubted
I was proven wrong by those I've come to call my friends
Did you know all along I'd learn so much in my stay?
And did you know that though my duty was done
I wouldn't wanna leave
Not after I had found this new kind of magic?
Did you know I had it in me?
Was I always meant to find it?
Nonetheless, I'm glad to keep it
I know there's no other place I'd rather be
And as I look up at the stars
I can feel a spark alive inside of me
Funny how nothing worked as planned
Yet I've never felt this alive, no
[Chorus]
Ponyville nights are the happiest nights of my life
'Cause I found a place to call home, a place where I belong (Whoa)
I found the place where I belong, whoa
