4EverfreeBrony didn't provide a precise definition of the song's meaning when it was first released, stating that "it kind of speaks for itself". However, when he was asked about the bridge's lyrics, he said:

> Well, I guess I wouldn't know the answer to that one. In this point of view, it would appear to them that they would see them in an afterlife. However, some have their suspicions that their parents aren't exactly dead, but maybe lost, or travelling for a long period of time.
> That's another way to see it, I guess.

According to 4EverfreeBrony, the song's production took a total of three months.

## Lyrics

**[Intro:** EileMonty as Granny Smith & **Big Mac]**
"Big Macintosh! You ain't stayin' out here any long, is ya?"
**"Nnope."**
"Well, good. It's time for bed anyway. Oh, and tell Applejack on your way in too."
**"Eeyup."**
*[Big Mac walks his way to Applejack.]*
**"She's probably in her room."**
**"Hey, uh, sis. Time for bed."**
**"What are you looking out the window for?"**
*[Window opens, crickets chirp.]*
*[Big Mac sighs.]*
**"Them stars just don't change, do they?"**

**[Verse 1:** Feather as Applejack, *4EverfreeBrony as Big Mac* & **Both]**
When the winter snow falls in the cold of night
And the stars begin to glow, bathing us in light
A flickering glimpse, a glance into their glow
We begin to see shadows of the life we'll never know
*We see the memory of a life we never lived*
*And of those shooting stars of loved ones we still miss*
*We'll never tell them whispers of the lives* (The ones they left behind)
*Whispers of the souls they never knew*
**Watching as your children grew**

**[Chorus: Feather as Applejack & 4EverfreeBrony as Big Mac]**
Calling out your name before the fall
And crying out but always standing tall
Wishing you were here to see it all
Ah, come back to me
Ah, come home to me
Ah, I miss you so
Please come home

**[Verse 2:** *4EverfreeBrony as Big Mac*, Feather as Applejack & **Both]**
*Well, we've been through many trials but we stuck to all our roots*
*And we've worked those many hours and taken all the fruits*
*We've tried so hard and worked from day to day to day*
*But we'll never know how proud you are no matter how we pray*
But when night turns to day I feel I'm not alone
Without my family by my side, I would be on my own
And when the winter snow melts and the flowers start to bloom
The tears upon my face will fade and dry
**And fill our lonely spirits with your pride**

**[Chorus: Feather as Applejack & 4EverfreeBrony as Big Mac]**
Calling out your name before the fall
And crying out but always standing tall
Wishing you were here to see it all
Ah, come back to me
Ah, come home to me
Ah, I miss you so
Please come home
Please come home

**[Bridge:** Feather as Applejack, *4EverfreeBrony as Big Mac* & **Both]**
It really breaks my heart to know that we are total strangers
*I lived through every single day and went through all the dangers*
And as time goes on, leading to my end
*It gives me peace to know*
**We'll see you again**

**[Chorus:** *4EverfreeBrony as Big Mac*, Feather as Applejack & **Both]**
*Falling from the sky, winter calls*
I wish that you were here to see the beauty of it all
**Ah, come back to me**
**Ah, come home to me**
**Ah, we love you so**
*Please come home*

**[Outro:** *4EverfreeBrony as Big Mac* & Feather as Applejack**]**
*Home*
Please come home
Yeah, yeah
