The Seeds of the Past (parts 1 & 2) is one of the six songs in the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Christmas special, "A Hearth's Warming Tail." The song is used when the Spirit of Hearth's Warming Past takes Snowfall Frost into the past to show her how much she loved Hearth's Warming when she was young, but pushed aside everything involving Hearth's Warming in order to become a powerful Unicorn.

Part 1[]
Spirit of Hearth's Warming Past: As a young thing,
life sure is somethin'
You go makin' choices
large and small
Always growin' like a seedlin'
And playin' is like dreamin'
And before you know it,
big and tall
And every little bitty
choice you make
Sends you down a path
to who you are today
So let's take a little
trip down memory lane
And see just what
the past has to say
Aw, look how cute you were.
Looks like you're
not too upset
it's Hearth's Warming Eve either
The seeds of the past
They grow pretty fast
Just look at who you were back then
The seeds, as they grow
Look what they can show
Reveal the truth time and again
Part 2[]
Spirit of Hearth's Warming Past: Then some distress
Words so careless
Standin' there, you don't know what to do
Feelin' helpless
You can't make
it hurt less
So you go and change
your point of view
And in that moment,
though you didn't know it
Your defenses set up
walls you built to last
Leading to the pony
you've become today
And the spell you're about to cast
It all comes from your past
Snowfall Frost: The seeds of the past
We grow up so fast
Some hurts never go away
Spirit Past: The seeds, as they grow
This we can't let go
All tied to
this one holiday
