==Animated short synopsis==
The Rainbooms lead Sunset Shimmer on a magical musical journey through the ages. The short begins with Twilight Sparkle playing the piano on a classical stage. Fluttershy then takes Sunset through a hilly field and Sunset blows the seeds off a dandelion. Rarity then appears in her Sgt. Pepper-esque outfit from Rainbow Rocks in a psychedelic background, and Sunset sprouts from a flower. Rainbow Dash then takes over with a metal-style verse as Sunset crowd surfs. Applejack then sings a country-style verse on a farm while Sunset rides a horse and line-dances with her. Pinkie Pie then sings a techno-pop style verse as Sunset vectors onto a grid. All of the Rainbooms sing two more choruses, joined by Sunset. They conclude the song in a group hug.
==Lyrics==
:[Twilight Sparkle]
::Nothing stays the same for long
::But when it changes doesn't mean it's gone
::Time will always get away
::As it leaves behind another day
:[Fluttershy]
::Things may come and things may go
::Some go fast and some go slow
::Few things last, that's all I know
::But friendship carries on through the ages
:[Rarity and Fluttershy]
::Things may come and things may go
::Some go fast and some go slow
::Few things last, that's all I know
::But friendship carries on through the ages
:[Rainbow Dash]
::Been around for a long time
::Rocking out hard 'cause I'm in my prime
::Maybe it'll change further down the line
::But my friendship carries on through the ages
:[Applejack]
::Every single style has something
::Different it can say
::There's nothing wrong with being unique
::And special in your own way
:[Pinkie Pie]
::Maybe you wanna be a pop star
::Get your fifteen minutes of fame, wha, ah! Ah, oh!
::That won't last forever
::But friendship remains the same, !
:[The Rainbooms sans Sunset Shimmer]
::Things may come and things may go
::Some go fast and some go slow
::Few things last, that's all I know
::But friendship carries on through the ages	
:[Rarity]
::But friendship carries on
:[The Rainbooms]
::Things may come and things may go
::Some go fast and some go slow
::Few things last, that's all I know

::Ohhh-oh, carries on...
