It’s time you learned a lesson  
It’s time that you understand  
Don’t ever count on anybody else  
In this or any other land
 
I once hoped for friendship  
To find a place among my kind  
But those were the childish wishes  
Of someone who was blind
 
Open up your eyes  
See the world from where I stand  
Me, among the mighty  
You, caged at my command
 
Open up your eyes  
Give up your sweet fantasy land  
It’s time to grow up and get wise  
Come now, little one, open up your eyes
 
We all start out the same  
With simple naive trust  
Shielded from the many ways  
That life’s not fair or just  
But then there comes a moment  
A simple truth that you must face  
If you depend on others  
You’ll never find your place
 
[instrumental]
 
And as you take that first step  
Upon a path that’s all your own  
You see it all so clearly  
The best way to survive is all alone
 
Open up your eyes  
See the world from where I stand  
Me, among the mighty  
You, caged at my command
 
Open up your eyes  
And behold the faded light  
It’s time to grow up and get wise  
Come now, little one, open up your eyes
 
Open up your eyes!
 

 

 

 
Open Up Your Eyes From MLP Movie
 

 

 
 
Considering that Sunset Shimmer and Tempest share a lot in common, that is  
why I changed this scene to where Tempest is singing to Sunset instead of  
Twilight. And I wanted to do something for my two favorite ponies.
