Luna, Luna night,
Flowing colors, purple-blue,
Looking from the skies she knew,
Equestria was safe between her hooves.
Clouds were passing by,
Sleeping squirrel and butterfly,
In their beds the ponies lie,
As the princess stood before the land.
Now I understand, what you fought for valiantly,
Why you struggled for the love you see,
Why you longed to be set free.
The Nightmare’s banished by their sacred vow,
Perhaps she’ll listen now.
Luna, Luna night,
Celestia resting from her days,
Shining with her sunny rays,
Could see determination in your eyes.
Safe now from the lies, the sentinel of moonlit nights,
Contemplating wrongs and rights,
Knowing their fragility firsthand.
Now I understand, what you fought for valiantly,
Why you struggled for the love you see,
Why you longed to be set free.
The Nightmare’s banished by their sacred vow,
Perhaps she’ll listen now.
For they didn’t know you,
Despite all that you do,
So struggling up into flight on that fateful Nightmare Night,
Your sister sent you flying to the moon,
But I could have told you, Luna, Equestria would love to show the love they held for you.
Luna, Luna Night,
Smiling generosity,
Often painful honesty,
Was waiting loyally for a thousand years.
Crying wistful tears,
The discord feeding on your fears,
Though to friendship you adhered,
Darkness held in heart can only grow.
Now I think I know, what you fought for valiantly,
Why you struggled for the love you see,
Why you longed to be set free.
The Nightmare’s banished, never to return,
The day’s rest now you’ve earned
