Wouldn’t have to sing this song
If we were home
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:
If you were home
You wouldn’t have to stay in there
You could run and fly without a care
You’d do what no one else would dare
If you were home
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:
If I were home
I’d have options without end
I’d spend more time with my friends
I’d see my father once again
If I were home
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:
Home (over two hundred million miles)
Back in the arms of the ones we love (I close my eyes and see their smiles)
Safe return from the stars above
What wouldn’t we do if only we could go home
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:
Wake at dawn to go ballooning
Eat a gem and sleep till noon-ing
Fly a kite up to the cloudtops
Swoop so low I scatter dewdrops
Walk the beach at Galveston
Surf lava from dusk till dawn
Ride the train to anywhere
Read a book, Wash my hair
Los Pegasus, Magnificent Mile
See the world, Rest a while
Cherries, pizza, ruby ice cream
Luna guarding every dream
Baseball games at Wrigley Park
The way the stars shine after dark
水晶背景音与歌声碰撞迸发,歌曲达到了高潮:
To see again familiar places
To see the smiles on people’s faces
The fact that cannot be erased is
This rusty rock in outer space is
So far
So very, very far…
音乐停滞片刻,各位将自己的家乡融入歌词:
Dragonlands
Chicago
Cloudsdale
Ponyville
So far, and yet so close
If I were home
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。
“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?”
“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。”
“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……”
“我们不讨论这种事情。”星光熠熠直白答道。
“绝对不会。”火球又补充强调道。
“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……”
“马克?”
“咋了,星光?”
“我刚才说我们不讨论这种事的意思是,不要再讨论了。”
“噢。啊。抱歉。”
