[Intro: Twilight Sparkle, Twilight and Fluttershy]
A true, true friend helps a friend in need
A friend will be there to help them see
A true, true friend helps a friend in need
To see the light that shines from a true, true friend

[Post-Chorus: Rainbow Dash, spoken]
Um, hello? Friend trapped inside, remember?

[Verse 1: Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy]
Rarity needs your help
She's trying hard, doing what she can
Would you try, just give it a chance
You might find that you'll start to understand

[Chorus: Twilight and Fluttershy]
A true, true friend helps a friend in need
A friend will be there to help you see
A true, true friend helps a friend in need
To see the light that shines from a true, true friend

[Post-Chorus: Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, spoken]
Uh, what just happened?
There's no time to explain, but we need your help, Applejack's trying to make dresses!
Say no more!
[Verse 2: Rainbow Dash]
Applejack needs your help
She's trying hard, doing what she can
Would you try, just give it a chance
You might find that you'll start to understand

[Chorus: Twilight, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash]
A true, true friend helps a friend in need
A friend will be there to help them see
A true, true friend helps a friend in need
To see the light that shines from a true, true friend

[Post-Chorus, spoken]
Rarity: "Oh my, what a terrible dream I had! Or, maybe I'm still having it."
Twilight Sparkle: "Rarity, Pinkie Pie is about to lose the apple farm, we need Applejack's help!"
Rarity: "Lose the apple farm? Well we can't let that happen, now can we?"

[Verse 3: Rarity]
Pinkie Pie is in trouble, we need to get there by her side
We can try to do what we can now
For together we can be her guide

[Chorus: Twilight, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity]
A true, true friend helps a friend in need
A friend will be there to help them see
A true, true friend helps a friend in need
To see the light that shines from a true, true friend
[Post-Chorus, spoken]
Applejack: "Yee-haw! Now that's more like it! What's next?"
Twilight Sparkle: "The townspeople are furious, we need the old Pinkie Pie back!"
Applejack: "I'm on it. I know just the thing."

[Bridge: Applejack]
The townspeople need you, they've been sad for a while
They march around, and face a frown and never seem to smile
And if you feel like helpin', we'd appreciate a lot
If you'd get up there and spread some cheer from here to Canterlot

(Pinkie Pie: "Come on ponies, I wanna see you Smile!")
(Crowd: "Pinkie!")

[Chorus: Mane Six]
A true, true friend helps a friend in need
A friend will be there to help them see
A true, true friend helps a friend in need
To see the light (To see the light) that shines (That shines) from a true, true friend
