wouldn’t have to sing this song</P>
If we were home</P>
音乐稍稍平静下来,围绕着主旋律游走片刻,同时樱桃莓莓漫步到蜓蜓茧旁,伸出一蹄轻抚:</P>
If you were home</P>
You wouldn’t have to stay in there</P>
You could run and fly without a care</P>
You’d do what no one else would dare</P>
If you were home</P>
星光主唱担起了余下的段落,而其余各位在一旁轻轻吟唱应和着她的歌词:</P>
If I were home</P>
I’d have options without end</P>
I’d spend more time with my friends</P>
I’d see my father once again</P>
If I were home</P>
音乐再次昂起,五位(马克与小马们的歌唱相呼应)伴着石英绽出的光彩以完美曲调唱响了他们的思乡之情:</P>
home (over two hundred million miles)</P>
back in the arms of the ones we love (I close my eyes and see their smiles)</P>
Safe return from the stars above</P>
what wouldn’t we do if only we could go home</P>
音乐由快速而变幻莫测转为奏出干净分明的音符,歌手相互轮换着逐渐将情绪推向极致:</P>
wake at dawn to go ballooning</P>
Eat a gem and sleep till noon-ing</P>
Fly a kite up to the cloudtops</P>
Swoop so low I scatter dewdrops</P>
walk the beach at Galveston</P>
Surf lava from dusk till dawn</P>
Ride the train to anywhere</P>
Read a book, wash my hair</P>
Los pegasus, magnificent mile</P>
See the world, Rest a while</P>
cherries, pizza, ruby ice cream</P>
Luna guarding every dream</P>
baseball games at wrigley park</P>
the way the stars shine after dark</P>
水晶背景音与歌声碰撞迸发,歌曲达到了高潮:</P>
to see again familiar places</P>
to see the smiles on people’s faces</P>
the fact that cannot be erased is</P>
this rusty rock in outer space is</P>
So far</P>
So very, very far…</P>
音乐停滞片刻,各位将自己的家乡融入歌词:</P>
dragonlands</P>
chicago</P>
cloudsdale</P>
ponyville</P>
So far, and yet so close</P>
If I were home</P>
五声柔和而苦中带甜地唱出最后一句,洞穴奏完最后一串音符;接着魔法脱离了他们,带走他们心中的音乐之后留下的只有火星原本的寂静。</P>
“呃,”马克小声嘟囔着打破了持续的沉默,“也许我们该把电池关掉了?”</P>
“先等计时器跑完再说,”独角兽答道,“歌曲刚刚离开我们,现在立刻关掉魔法的话对我们的冲击会更大。”</P>
“好。说起来,我觉得刚才这种是挺不错的,”马克接着说道,“讲真,看你们唱歌是一回事,但是真的加入进来的话……”</P>
“我们不讨论这种事情。”星光熠熠直白答道。</P>
“绝对不会。”火球又补充强调道。</P>
“怪不得,”出了神的马克继续自言自语,“我都想不出能用什么言语表达我刚才的……只能说,哇,真的是震撼。歌词就这么……呃,我猜它应该是和音乐一起从同一个地方……”</P>
“马克?”</P>
“咋了,星光?”</P>
“我刚才说我们不讨论这种事的意思是,不要再讨论了。”</P>
“噢。啊。抱歉。”
