You say you owe me for bringing you friends
But the truth is I owe you everything, my dear friend.

I owe you for saving me
I owe you for putting my fame before our friendship
I owe you for saving me after I betrayed you
Above all,
I owe you for reminding me what friendship really means.

Friendship has no boundaries.
Differences like ours can’t stop its magic
Pony, Dragon, Zebra, or Changeling
are capable of friendship and capable of love

When we try to control friendship, try to say who’s a friend or foe
that is when we lose sight of who matters, of ourselves.
I am no hero.
You’re the hero, who teaches everyone that friendship and love are clouds and sun
No one can stop the showers on the land, giving life to the world.
The sun will never cease its rays and leave our hearts cold.

No, the sun, the rain, the wind, the snow cannot be stopped.
Friendship does not stop because you’re a Changeling or I’m a Dragon.
Love breaks through our hearts and sets us right.
True heroes keep friendship standing through any storm, through the shadows, and true heroes like you, teach me that friends would surrender an empire, to keep friendship blooming when all seems lost.

Your rain, your sun, your love, you make me strong, Thorax.
Because our friendship is true.
