[Intro - Clean Guitar] Six notes... [Pause] Then seven. [Full Band Enters] [Verse 1] Morning came to Ponyville looking mostly like before. Same old carts across the market, same bell above the store. Seven stars above the doorway where six used to shine alone. Pinkie took the day for herself. We saved her something when she came home. Rainbow writes from distant cities, still chasing every open sky. Fluttershy says "no" much louder. We don't ask her why. [Pre-Chorus] Funny how standing on your own doesn't mean you have to leave. Maybe giving someone room is another way to believe. [Chorus] Seven stars burning over everything we've known. Seven different fires, every one of them its own. No light has to fade away for another one to shine. Seven stars are burning— yours, and theirs, and mine. [Verse 2] Rarity still gives too much, then remembers she can stop. Applejack asked us for help bringing in this season's crop. She swore it wasn't anything. We let her have that little lie. And me? I still make too many lists. Still think I know the reason why. Still try to fix what isn't mine, but now I stop myself in time. I ask, "Do you want my help?" And let the answer not be mine. [Pre-Chorus] Harmony isn't perfection. Maybe that's what we got wrong. It isn't never missing notes. It's learning where they belong. [Chorus] Seven stars burning over everything we've known. Seven different fires, every one of them its own. No light has to fade away for another one to shine. Seven stars are burning— yours, and theirs, and mine. [Short Instrumental] [Seven-Note Guitar Theme] [Verse 3] They left the scar beneath the castle. I asked them not to mend the stone. Some mistakes should stay where we can see what fear once tried to disown. Celestia came down last winter. Stood beside that seventh light. She didn't ask to be forgiven. I didn't tell her she was right. She asked me what I teach them now. I said, "Harmony can't be commanded. Every heart must choose somehow." [Bridge - Building] Honesty without cruelty. Kindness that remembers me. Laughter that can share the sadness. Giving when it's given freely. Loyalty without a cage. Magic without controlling. Will that knows the strength in others. Seven stars still burning. [Build] Not six against one! Not one against six! Not me disappearing into us! Not us disappearing into me! Whole enough to stand alone! Brave enough to need somebody! Free enough to choose each other! [Full Band] That's Harmony! [Melodic Guitar Solo] [Seven-Element Theme] [Final Chorus] Seven stars burning! Let them light the open road! Seven different stories! Seven lives we get to own! We can stand beneath the same sky without becoming all alike! Seven stars are burning! Every one its own damn light! Seven stars burning! Not because we owe our hearts! We are here because we choose it, whole together and apart! Every life! Every voice! Every road! Every choice! Seven stars are burning— yours! And theirs! And mine! [Post-Chorus - Layered Vocals] My life! My voice! My road! My choice! Your life! Your voice! Your road! Your choice! Our hands! Our hearts! Our hope! Our choice! [Outro - Clean Guitar and Piano] Sometimes I think about the carving that we found. Seven circles. One scratched out. Like a truth could disappear if you cut deep enough. They were wrong. Some truths wait. Some truths hurt. Some truths change you. And some just need to be remembered. [Seven-Note Guitar Motif] Seven stars burning. [End]
