"Beyond the Mysterious Beyond" is a song sung in the Land Before Time film series. It is featured in the first musical sequence of The Land Before Time VII: The Stone of Cold Fire, and is featured again at the end of the movie.
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, save for Cera.
Reprise
As the far walkers leave the Great Valley, Littlefoot asks the Rainbow Faces if they will be leaving as well. They reply that they will, and Littlefoot questions if there ever really was a Stone of Cold Fire. They tell him that there wasn't, but that it got the dinosaurs thinking, which was what they had intended. As they talk, Littlefoot begins to question what they really are, but they quickly dismiss the inquiry, and finish their song about the wonders one could see if they look "Beyond the Mysterious Beyond". As they sing, they distract Littlefoot before being beamed up from the earth. Littlefoot turns around again in time to see this happen, and realizes that they were not ordinary Rainbow Faces.
Lyrics
First version
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-
Out where the darkness is the scariest
Out where the wonders are the rariest
Past the edge of dawn
Than anyone supposes
And underneath your noses
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
Think of the things that we could see there
Oh, how I wish that we could be there
All of my friends and me
And mountains catch on fire
We can set our sights beyond the sky
Beyond
Of all that lies beyond
The Mysterious Beyond
Reprise
For losing or for winning
Somewhere out there beyond
The Mysterious Beyond...
The Mysterious Beyond...
The Mysterious Beyond...
The Mysterious Beyond...
