Before Mary walked off the stage after her song, Alli, Ms. Davis, and Leah walked back on. Ms. Davis took the mic from the stand, while Alli and Leah were handed mics from someone backstage. Ms. Davis smiled as she spoke to everyone. "We have a special treat for you all during this break. Instead of the current choir class doing a number, these three ladies agreed to sing something themselves, as a triplet. Each of these girls gained something recently, which they never intend to let go. Written by each of them, here's 'The Great Divide'!" Everyone stared at each other as the music started and the girls took their place onstage. Alli stepped up first, and a picture of her with Sean and me appeared on the projector above her.

I never knew I lost you till I found you
And I never guessed how close you were to me

And now I wanna throw my arms around you
Tell a thousand tales that will astound you
Everything about you tells me this was meant to me
Don't you see?

The picture disappeared as Alli stepped back, and the three sang together.

I'm on your side
Let's take this ride
And together we're facing the world
Doing things nobody's done before
And the great divide
Doesn't seem so wide
Anymore

Leah stepped up, and a picture of herself with a boy appeared over her.

I can't recall what life was like without you
Now it feels as though we've never been apart

Tell me every tiny thing about you
Anything you say, I'll never doubt you
We're meant to be together, I can feel it in my heart
It's just the start

She stepped back as the picture disappeared.

I'm on your side
Let's take this ride
And together we're facing the world
Doing things nobody's done before
And the great divide
Doesn't seem so wide

As Mary stepped up, a picture of her holding a baby appeared. I practically heard the whole audience sigh.

And if you'll be there beside me when I falter
Then whatever comes I know we'll take it all in stride
I'm on your side

The great divide
It doesn't seem so wide

Alli and Leah stepped up with Mary, and their pictures appeared.

I'm on your side
Let's take this ride
And together we're facing the world
Doing things nobody's done before
And the great divide
Doesn't seem so wide
Anymore

The girls took each other's wrists and bowed, smiling at the applauding audience before walking offstage.
