[Lyrics]
Verse 1 
Life is hard for the traveling magician
show pony, that is your big ambition
Bits are low, and times are tough
leave for Ponyville and just make enough 

So you find, an easy crowd
Time for setup, and think out loud. 
As nervous as you are, you find all your strength
your small lies can take you to great lengths

Suddenly, a pegasus mocks you
keep calm Trixie, just keep your cool. 
Hecklers won't want to take you down
when you turn that frown of theirs upside down.
 [bad word]  
Show them that you want your way (even if it kills you)
Make yourself that shooting star (the stars will help and guide you)
The only way to make them pay (the ones that want to stop you)
is to show them you're the star (of this bright and summer day). 

Verse 2:
Three days since the ponyville incident
caused by [bad word] of vanity and arrogance.
Out of a home, and confidence too
sorrow and fear now shake your hooves 

But don't fret, your mother said to 
a little unicorn, saying no one can stop you
from making that dream, so hard it seem
to get to be one of the greatest ponies.
