Description[]
First version[]
As there is much controversy circling the residents of the Great Valley and their recent visitors, regarding Littlefoot's sighting of an unusual flying rock landing in the Mysterious Beyond the night before, two Rainbow Faces make their way into the center of the crowd, and try to caution the others away from trusting only what they can see with their own eyes. Though most of the adults remain suspicious about this viewpoint, Littlefoot and most of the other children are quick to accept it, except Cera.

Lyrics[]
Male Rainbow Face: Beyond the Mysterious Beyond
Out past the smallest light that's twinkling
You cannot even have an inkling
Of what is going on
For example, there's this enormous black-
Female Rainbow Face: Ahem, Beyond the Mysterious Beyond
Out where the darkness is the scariest
Out where the wonders are the rariest
Past the edge of dawn
Male Rainbow Face: There's so much more to everything
Than anyone supposes
Female Rainbow Face: The answers lay inside your dreams
And underneath your noses
Cera: Beyond this Mysterious Beyond
They act like they really think they know it all
But I won't believe it 'til they show it all
I trust what my eyes can see
Not some dumb beyond
Cera's Dad: Friends of yours?
Spokes Dinosaur: Uh, not really. They joined up with us some time ago. Always asking questions, talking in riddles. Harmless, I think, but, well, they are a bit strange.
Cera's Dad: You're all a bit strange if you ask me.
Littlefoot: Beyond the Mysterious Beyond
Think of the things that we could see there
Oh, how I wish that we could be there
All of my friends and me
Rainbow Faces: If stars can fall, and rocks can fly
And mountains catch on fire
We can set our sights beyond the sky
Kids: Or maybe even higher
Male Rainbow Face: Beyond the Mysterious Beyond
Kids: The Mysterious Beyond
Male Rainbow Face: Trust in your own imagination
Rainbow Faces: You are a part of the creation
Of all that lies beyond
The Mysterious Beyond
Kids: The Mysterious Beyond
All together: Beyond
Male Rainbow Face: Life is not a game, my friend
For losing or for winning
Female Rainbow Face: And when you think you've reached the end
Both: It's only the beginning
Male Rainbow Face: Oh! Will you look at that!
Littlefoot: What? Look at what? (sound of teleporter activating)
Male Rainbow Face: Beyond the Myterious Beyond
Female Rainbow Face: Beyond the Mysterious Beyond
Male Rainbow Face: You know the wonder never ends there
Both: And you may find that you have friends there
Somewhere out there beyond
The Mysterious Beyond...
The Mysterious Beyond...
The Mysterious Beyond...
The Mysterious Beyond...
