We'll Make Our Mark (Prelude)

 

 

 

 

[Apple Bloom]
We've been searchin' for our cutie marks
For a while now
Tryin' to find out how we fit in
So many ways we've tried before
But we keep on tryin' more

[Cutie Mark Crusaders]
'Cause the Cutie Mark Crusaders don't give in!

We'll make our mark
One way or another
We'll make our mark
On the day that we discover
The ultimate reward of our cutie marks!

The Vote

 

 

 

 

[Cutie Mark Crusaders]

It's time to make a change
This is our chance
Don't be afraid to do what's right!

He's it! Vote for Pip!

We got an opportunity
To have fun again
A vote for Pip, and you can join the fight!

 

It's time for a new leader
It's time to make a change
We're here to fight for what we believe
(Vote for Pip!)
It's finally time we beat her
And play a better game
'Cause when we vote together
There's nothing that we can't achieve!

 

[Diamond Tiara]

I don't believe what I am hearing
I'm the only one you should be cheering
Pipsqueak? Try "Pip's weak!" Don't you think?

But a diamond is perfection
It's natural selection
So your vote better be for me, not the weakest link!

(Apple Bloom: We'll let the votin' decide!)

[Diamond Tiara]

Everypony has their little secrets
I know you do
A vote for me will help you keep them safe
Like your creepy super strength!
Or your mane extension
A little thing I won't mention
Or those freakish large teeth in your face!

(Apple Bloom: Come on now, ponies! Don't listen to her!)

 

[Cutie Mark Crusaders]

You've gotta vote for change
It's time for a new leader
End all the tyranny

Vote now and we can beat her
It's now another day
And we believe in what's right

 

[Poulains]
Vote for Pip! Vote for Pip!

[Cutie Mark Crusaders]

Our victory is in sight!

(Diamond Tiara: Stop! Everypony who hasn't voted, listen up!)

Pip makes promises he can't keep
But I can do more!
You could really use a new bookbag

'Cause I'll make things happen
That none of you here can afford
To do, like, ever!

Wouldn't you like a little something sweet?
Here's a parasol to hide you from the heat
Who says that I can't be nice?

But first there's one thing
An itsy-bitsy little string
And voting for me is the price!

 

[Silver Spoon]

I've a tiny suggestion
That you should be aware
You could probably win this election
If you show them all you real—

(Diamond Tiara: I don't recall asking you to speak!)

 

(Sweetie Belle: Well, if that's how you treat your best friend, then I choose Pipsqueak!)

[Tous]

Vote! For Pip! Vote!

[Cutie Mark Crusaders]

Stand strong and don't be afraid, ponies!
Let's free ourselves from the past!
 

[Tous]

He's it! Vote for Pip! Vote! For Pip! Vote!

[Cutie Mark Crusaders]

We'll let honor win out against the tyranny
And make a change that will last
 

[Tous]

Vote for Pip!

[Cutie Mark Crusaders]

It's time for a new leader
It's time to make a change
We're here to fight for what we believe!

[Tous]

Vote for Pip!

[Cutie Mark Crusaders]

It's finally time we beat her
And play a better game
'Cause when we vote together
There's nothing that we can't achieve!

[Tous]

Vote for Pip!

The Pony I
want to Be

 

 

 

 

[Diamond Tiara]

If I'm a diamond
Then why do I feel so rough?
I'm as strong as a stone
Even that's not enough

There's something jagged in me
And I've made such mistakes
I thought that diamonds were hard
Though I feel I could break

Would you believe
That I've always wished I could be somepony else?
Yet I can't see
What I need to do to be the pony I want to be

I've been told my whole life
What to do, what to say
Nopony showed me that
There might be some better way

And now I feel like I'm lost
I don't know what to do
The ground is sinking away
I'm about to fall through

Would you believe
That I've always wished I could be somepony else?
Yet I can't see
What I need to do to be the pony I want to be

To be the pony I want to be

Light of Your Cutie Mark est écrite par Daniel Ingram et composée avec l'aide de Caleb Chan et Trevor Hoffman.

Light of your Cutie Mark

 

 

 

 

[Diamond Tiara]

Cutie Mark Crusaders, get out of my way!
Those ponies need to know the truth
And they'll hear it from me

[Cutie Mark Crusaders]

Stop! Diamond Tiara, this is not the way
You know you're better than this hostility

[Diamond Tiara]

You don't even know me at all
Don't understand the meaning of my fall
What my family would think if I ever
Fail at anything?

I'm a diamond – that means you'll never break
No matter what be the cost of the path I take
Whatever I have to do to win in the end

[Cutie Mark Crusaders]

Stop! This is not the answer
Wait! And it's plainly seen
Listen! You can redeem yourself
But by helping others, not by being mean

We know you want friends who admire you
You want to be the star with all the power too
But there's a better way, there's a better wa-a-ay
 

There's so much more still left to
Learn about yourself
See the light that shines in you
We know you can be somepony else!

You can stop right now
And try another start
You'll finally free yourself from the dark
And see the light
And see the light of your cutie mark!

The Pony I
want to Be (Reprise)

 

 

 

[Diamond Tiara]
We'll build a playground
For all of us to enjoy
So full of games
There's enough for each girl and boy!

I want to help and do
Everything that I can
I'm here to show you I changed
Listen up, here's the plan!

(...)

There's so much I can do
To help everypony else
I see the light that shines in me
I know I can be my better self

I can free the past
'Cause now the future's bright for me
My cutie mark has set me free
To do what's right and be the pony I want to be
And be the pony I want to be!

We'll Make our Mark

 

 

 

 

[Cutie Mark Crusaders]
We were searching for our cutie marks
For a while there
Trying to find out how we fit in

So many ways we've tried before
But we kept on trying more
'Cause the Cutie Mark Crusaders don't give in!

[Scootaloo]
Now we know what it took all along

[Sweetie Belle]
And our journey here is never really done

[Apple Bloom]
For it is more than just a mark
It's a place for us to start

[Cutie Mark Crusaders]
An adventure that has only just begun!

We'll make our mark
Show the world what we can do!
We'll make our mark
Helping fillies to break through
To the ultimate reward of a cutie mark!

(...)

[Rainbow Dash]
I'm so proud of you, little buddy
You've taught me a thing or two!

[Rarity]
You've inspired everypony around you
And you've inspired me too!

[Rainbow Dash, Rarity, et Applejack]
You've made your mark,
Done Equestria so proud
You've made your mark,
And we're here to sing it loud
For the ultimate reward of your cutie mark!

(...)

[Cutie Mark Crusaders]
We started out just three
Crusaders driven to see
What we find in our hearts
Discover our destiny
And here we are, best friends
About to start it again
An adventure that never will end!

We'll make our mark,
Helping fillies most in need!
We'll make our mark,
So each one of them succeeds

'Cause the ultimate reward is a cutie mark!
