Fate has been cruel and order unkind  
How can I have sent you away?  
The blame was my own; the punishment, yours  
The harmony’s silent today
 
But into the stillness I’ll bring you a song  
And I will your company keep  
Till your tired eyes and my lullabies  
Have carried you softly to sleep
 
Once did a pony who shone like the sun  
Look out on her kingdom and sigh  
She smiled and said, “Surely, there is no pony  
So lovely and so well beloved as I”
 
So great was her reign and so brilliant her glory  
That long was the shadow she cast  
Which fell dark upon the young sister she loved  
And grew only darker as days and nights passed
 
Lullay moon princess, goodnight sister mine  
And rest now in moonlight’s embrace  
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth  
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space
 
Carry the peace and the coolness of night  
And carry my sorrow in kind  
Luna, you’re loved so much more than you know  
Forgive me for being so blind
 
Soon did that pony take notice that others  
Did not give her sister her due  
And neither had she loved her as she deserved  
She watched as her sister’s unhappiness grew
 
But such is the way of the limelight, it sweetly  
Takes hold of the mind of its host  
And that foolish pony did nothing to stop  
The destruction of one who had needed her most
 
Lullay moon princess, goodnight sister mine  
And rest now in moonlight’s embrace  
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth  
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space
 
Carry the peace and the coolness of night  
And carry my sorrow in kind  
Luna, you’re loved so much more than you know  
May troubles be far from your mind  
And forgive me for being so blind
 
The years now before us  
Fearful and unknown  
I never imagined  
I’d face them on my own
 
May these thousand winters  
Swiftly pass, I pray  
I love you; I miss you  
All these miles away
 
May all your dreams be sweet tonight  
Safe upon your bed of moonlight  
And know not of sadness, pain, or care  
And when I dream, I’ll fly away and meet you there  
Sleep…
