While gliding through the skies with their wings spread out, the Cutie Mark Crusaders looked at the ground below them, and everything around like tourists.

"This is incredible! I've never seen anything like this!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed.

"And we're only seeing this because we can now that we're birds!" Apple Bloom added.

"Free to fly all around, and enjoy this view! From up here!" Scootaloo added, before singing:



"Life's been so unsatisfying
Look, suddenly now I'm flying
Freewheeling from cloud to cloud to cloud

Wings spread, and the sky below me
There's no one to stop or slow me
Pure freedom and everything's allowed

Down there, I know there's tons of burdens I must bear, somewhere...

But from up here, the world looks so small
And suddenly life seems so clear
And from up here, you coast past it all
The obstacles just disappear

You never feel heavy or earthbound
No worries or doubts interfere
There's nothing but you
Looking down from the view from up here."


Throughout the verse, the Cutie Mark Crusaders flew through the grass fields outside Ponyville town, pass the mountains around Canterot, and even the clouds of Cloudsdale.


Sweetie Belle sang, "Stretch out with the wind behind you"
Apple Bloom sang, "Here we go"
Sweetie Belle sang, "Float up, let the current find you"
Apple Bloom sang,  "Look out below"
Sweetie Belle sang, "Keep climbing, and sail from breeze to breeze"
Apple Bloom sang, "Stay close, don't leave me, please!"

Scootaloo sang, "Head up to the stratospheres
With only the stars to steer us
Just think of the possibilities

Below, we spend our whole life trudging to and fro, now-"

All three Cutie Mark Crusaders then sang in unison;

"And from up here, the world is all yours
Each mountain and meadow and mere
And from up here, life's duties and chores
Are barely worth shedding a tear

And all of the sky lies before us
Straight up to the far stratosphere
So head for the blue
And let's take in the view from up here

It's just me and you
Looking down at the view from up here"
