## Lyrics

### Version 1: In our Town at the End of the Rainbow

The song was sung by Mayor Sunny Skies in the episode of the same name, when his grandfather was the mayor, Hope Hollow was full of color, and the residents were all very friendly toward each other. To celebrate the town, Sunny's grandfather established the Rainbow Festival and invented a device called the Rainbow Generator to create an aurora of colors across the sky.

However, as time flies when it passed to him as his grandson, the townsponies slowly drifted apart. To fix this, Sunny made alterations to the Generator in order to generate a bigger rainbow aurora. Unfortunately, the magic in the Generator overloaded, causing the town's color to disappear.

The song was briefly sung by the Ninja during the credits of "The Winter Farewell".

**[Mayor Sunny Skies]**
Next door neighbors chatting over white-wood fences
Stoppin' on the street to say hello
When friends did well, we sang their praises
Brought soup to comfort them when they felt low
That was our town at the end of the rainbow
No pots of gold or buried treasure
Just everypony looking after each other
The truest riches cannot be measured
It was a lesson that had kept us together
In our town at the end of the rainbow
To honor our fine town, my Grandpa Skies decided
To throw a party each and every year
They planned for weeks, cooked for days, celebrated fifty ways
So everypony would gather here
In our town at the end of the rainbow
Grandpa made a gizmo called the Rainbow Generator
To paint the sky with lots of colors shining bold and bright
To remind us all together we are greater
And darkness never wins against the coming of the light
Grandpa passed it on to Dad, then it was my turn
To make the pretty rainbows in the sky
It filled my heart with pride to see our whole town gathered gratefully
Where we were sure there would never be
An end to the rainbow
Then fences went up, we lost track of our neighbors
Each year passing, dimming spirits all around
The happy days came to an end
Nopony had time to spend together in the town
I thought I knew exactly what the festival needed
A bigger, better rainbow would surely make them see it
But the extra magic was too much for the Rainbow Generator
And I'm the one who brought the rainbow to an end
That's how our town, our little pony town
That's how our town saw the end of the rainbow

### Version 2: It will Grow at the End of the Rainbow

In the episode, “How to Grow a Flower”, the Ninja sing this song, while growing new sprouts that create beauty and restore the colors that had been drained by the Rainbow Generator. Nya is the center of this song, due to the need of Water for the sprouts to grow. The lyrics is different from this version.

**[Lloyd]**
We’re inside the flower, regenerate the sprouts
Making sure that it was fully grown
**[Jay]**
The seed is precious to us, it will never run out
It takes a while for the sprouts have shown
**[Lloyd]**

**[Lloyd]**

**[Zane]**

To paint the sky with lots of colors shining bold and bright
To remind us all that a new life has began
The darkness never wins against the coming of the light
**[Jay]**
The beauty never sleeps as the sprouts start to grow
To see the colours restored in the heart
**[Nya]**
With the right conditions, as the plants are slowly growing
Where we were sure there would never be
An end to the rainbow
**[Cole]**
But it not working, we lost track of it growing
Each year passing, dimming spirits all around
**[Lloyd]**
The life has came to an end
If we can’t managed to do what we can

**Lloyd**: This is the biggest mistake we never had. How can the sprouts will grow?

**Zane**: Wait a second, in order for the plants to grow, we need water.

**Lloyd**: That’s it! Water!

**Jay**: How we can get water from the Ovary of the flower? It’s impossible!

**Nya**: We can’t give up, Jay. As long what Master Wu has said, we should never put off till tomorrow what can be done today.

**Zane**: Nya, you’re the Master of Water. You can use the special Forbidden Spinjitzu power to make the sprouts grow.

**Nya**: You’re right, Zane. I have the power to gain. (Nya started to use the Forbidden Spinjitzu Special power to the sprouts) Drops of Desire!

**Ninja**: Whoa!

**Cole**: Amazing.

**Jay**: This is Super cool.

**Kai**: You did it, sis!

**Nya**: Sometimes, it is important that all plants need water to grow. Otherwise, it will not survive.

**[Nya]**

**[Kai and Nya]**

### Version 3: This is my Life at the End of the Rainbow

According to Jay Vincent and Michael Kramer, there is going to be the third version of the song in the second half of Season 11. It is the last of the two songs featured in this episode “Princess Snowblossom”. In this version, it tells about how Snowblossom loves the Ice Emperor as her Father, until they were break up for their remorseful actions, as he works with the Blizzard Samurai to steal the Scroll of Forbidden Spinjitzu.

**[Snowblossom]**
Once upon a time, there was the Ice Emperor
He’s the ruler of the Never-Realm
When friends did well, we sang their praises
He plans a foal like the sparkling gem.
This is my life at the end of the rainbow
When I was born, I came it sooner
The Emperor naming me like a blossomed flower
Sometimes I play with, with a sense of humour
I am sure I could see in the future
This is my life at the end of the rainbow
I started learning how to be the Princess
From little steps to the gone ingress
I learn to cook and to sew and to control my magic
But it wasn’t that easy
This is my life at the end of the rainbow
The Ice Emperor wanted me to learn about Friendship
With painting sky with lots of colors shining bold and bright
To remind us all I am slowing growing
And darkness never wins against the coming of the light
After I receive my cutie mark for first time
The coronation is held this time
It filled my heart with pride to see our people greatfully
Where we were sure there would never be
An end to the rainbow
Then time has passed by, and I’m a grown princess
Each year passing, bitterness is all around
My royal days came to an end
Nopony had time to spend together in the realm
I try to questioned to my dad about how I could needed
But tensions came upon him, and betrayed me for reason
He tries to stop me with the Blizzard Samurai and against me
And I'm the one who betrayed my father, to an end
This is my life, my life in the Never-Realm
This is my life saw the end of the rainbow

Fluttershy is in deep, deep trouble
**[Twilight Sparkle]**
You’re the princess, and I am counting

Together we can save the Never-Realm
**[Jay]**
This is your life at the end of the rainbow
