Easter comes but once a year and
Chocolate eggs and bunny ears.
We'll celebrate the murder of our lord.
Little girls love horsies,
But we are very poor sees.
Promises are all we could afford.
Or if I had been laid,
So I kneel down and pray.

Can I have a pony Jesus?
Your humble servant begs.
You see my little girl breathes through a tube
And has a wheelchair for her legs.
I'm not askin you to fix her spine
Or uncollapse her lung.
But I know she'd thank you for that pony,
If she had a working tongue.

Was it miracles I was looking for
When I saw that opened stable door
Unattended at the mid-state county fair.
I knew I had to take it slow
And chicken playing tic-tac-toe
Was the diversion to get her right out of there.
So then off I took,
But I was no crook.
Do you know why?

Cause I had a pony Jesus!
It was so much more than luck.
Well your guiding hand dragged it past the guard
And forced him in my truck.
And to know that horse won't stop he tremors
Or re-attach her nose.
But I know she'd hop right on that pony
If she could move her shriveled toes.

I'm still waiting in the drive way,
Hooked up to her machines.
And the happiness in her good eye
Was all the thanks I need.
It's so great!

As we approached he leaped to greet her.
He couldn't hold all that love in.
That divine equine just kicked and beat her.
To stomp out all that sin.
And a clap of thunder sent him running
As heaven's rain began to fall.
And he dragged a metal chariot,
But she didn't quite clear the wall.
And he galloped off to spread the gospel
And prove that nothing is impossible.

And she named her pony Jesus,
At least I think that's what she said.
Twas a girgly sound that trickled out
Through the hoof print in her head.
Another son to save me
And that's exactly what was done.
That holy pony brought redemption.

Giddy up God's only son.

Couldn't be stony,
Got her a pony.
It knocked her chair over
In the name of Jehovah.
Clippity, cloppity, he'll never stoppity.

The power of Christ compels you!
He is your lord, master!

    It's pretty self explanatory, the guy steals a pony for his severely disabled daughter, thinking it's God's will, and it ends up just dragging her around. It's making fun of all those inspirational christian stories with disabled kids.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
