Lyrics

[Verse 1] After all the bombings, the gunfire, and the smoke After the tepid ceasefire that has settled into hope After the propaganda, the battle cries, and pain We finally get to see our Equestria again [Verse 2] And though our nation's capitol has fallen into dust The spiral stairs that once were grand, now just mangled rust The earth beneath our hooves still feels like our own It may be burnt and broken, but this land is still our home [Chorus] And we sing for Equestria A land where we all gather and we all feel right at home Yes, we sing for Equestria For the friends we will remember until long after they're gone [Verse 3] And so with heavy hearts burdened by the strife We begin to make amends and start to build a brand new life But for those who hear this story, perhaps you picked up on the clues This tale is less for us, you see, but mostly here for you [Chorus] And we sing for Equestria A land where we all gather and we all feel right at home Yes, we sing for Equestria For the friends we will remember until long after they're gone [Spoken] And though a new dawn promised hope for peace, we stood with respect and reverence for those we had lost... We finally understood the fight. Not for our country, but for ourselves. The struggle to find a purpose that empowers us and those around us rather than destroying those who we don't understand. And we remember We remember the war We remember that when we give in to bigoted self-indulgence and let our differences divide us, we destroy who we are. We stood against an enemy with overwhelming force and an unstoppable will... We stood against ourselves But now we have the opportunity to rebuild. To improve. To become more than what we were... The opportunity to build a better Equestria
