13 Look Past The Rains By Zecora

Look Past The Rains

By Zecora

The world has changed young one,
From the paradise it was at the dawn of the first sunset,
For no longer do the doves sing out to the skies,
To let them know that our world has hope and peace.

But run past the rains of uncertainty,
Look past the mists of doubt,
‘Cause here in this world we still have dreams,
And on great swans of silk,
They will lift our spirits to the horizons!

The world has changed young one,
From when I was a small filly,
Growing up in a faraway land.

There, things were as simple,
As waiting for the ice cream stallion,
To come around the bend, and
Serve my favorite flavor, raspberry nut swirl,
To me in a great waffle cone!

But now, no ice cream stallion hums,
The tune “Blue Bell had a little lamb.”
And no foals come,
To get their favorite ice cream cones;
They’re all too busy listening to the radio,
As if it were life or death,
Waiting for the news reporter,
To solemnly speak of another disaster in Equestria.

But young one,
Run past the rains of uncertainty,
Look past the mists of doubt,
‘Cause I’m telling you,
Here in this world dreams still exist,

And if you can grasp just one in your hooves,
You will fly above the clouds,
On the back of a griffin,
And be brought to places you've never been.

So, come young one!
The world is not the same,
But your dreams are,

So keep them alive,
Like you keep alive the memory,
Of a falling star!

(should say 'in your hooves', but it says 'in you hooves')
