Harry, My Son

I'll hold you in my arms
I'll keep you safe from harm
You and your mother's hearts
Safely from the dark
Hold your hands in mine
Try to make you smile
Wipe your emerald eyes
Dry them when you cry
Harry my son
You are so young
To be born into a war when
We're on the frontline
At the first sign
Every battle
Could be our last fight
So I'll try to come home to you
To tuck you in and your teddy too
So every time you hear this tune
You'll know we're here
And we'll always be there for you
I'll teach you how to fly
Teach you wrong from right
Find some friends you like
Trust them with your life
Be brave in a fight
Hold your head up high
And I'll try not to cry
When your train arrives
Harry my son
You are so young
To be born into a war when
We're on the frontline
At the first sign
Every battle
Could be our last fight
So I'll try to come home to you
To tuck you in and your teddy too
So every time you hear this tune
You'll know we're here
And we'll always be there for you
Harry my son
You are so young
To be born into a war when
You're on the frontline
At the first sign
And this battle
Could be your last night
So it's time to come home to us
We'll see this through
And we’ll stay with you
Until the very end
You'll know we're here
And we've always been part of you
So we’ll see you soon
And you’ll fall asleep to this tune

Brightest Witch
03:00
|
|||
|
I got a letter today
With bright green ink and
A seal on the back with a name
I got a knock on the door
From a kind old witch who
Explained to my parents it all
And from that day
I found my place
I’m gonna be the brightest witch
Of my age they’ll claim
And I’ve come so far
And I will be brave
And you’ll see what I can be
And you’ll know my name
I begin my journey today
With a trunk that’s full and
A golden ticket I wait
I find a seat on the train
And through the window
I see my old life fade away
And from that day
I found my place
I’m gonna be the brightest witch
Of my age they’ll claim
And I’ve come so far
And I will be brave
And you’ll see what I can be
And you’ll know my name
Bu who are these two now
They weren’t part of the plan
They saved me from the troll
And at last I have a friend
Troublemakers three
Breaking all the rules
Fighting the dark magic and
Saving the whole school
And from that day
I found my place
I’m gonna be the brightest witch
Of my age they’ll claim
And I’ve come so far
And I will be brave
And you’ll see what I can be
And you’ll know my name
And from that day
I found my place
I’m gonna be the brightest witch
Of my age they’ll claim
And I’ve come so far
And I will be brave
And you’ll see what I can be
And you’ll know my name

Lost Boy
04:20
|
|||
|
I am just a lost child
Digging a grave
By the seaside
Then a vision
Of a wand hand
And a white tomb on an island
And she asks
Which one I’ll see first
And the weight of it hits me like a curse
I’ll walk into this cottage
Knowing this choice won’t come around again
I will go to the Goblin
Leaving Olivander for afterwards
I, I’ll close my eyes
And I will decide
Horcruxes or hallows x3
And whatever I choose I’m gonna lose
I am just a lost boy
With a burden
Made for destroy
I have followed what you told me
To the letter
And I’m angry
Cos these memories from a rival
Show I’m not meant for survival
Like a lamb lead to the slaughter
Just a pawn
Made for the order
And I know
It was never a choice
And I can almost hear it in your voice
I’ll walk into this forest
Knowing full well I won’t come out again
I will lower my wand
Sacrificing my life for all of them
I, I’ll close my eyes
Cos I’m ready to die
Horcruxes or hallows x3
And whatever I choose I’m gonna lose
I am just a lost soul
Missing pieces
Never been whole
Like a babe left on a doorstep
Just an orphan
That the war felt
And I know
It’s not my fault
That you left me with this lightening bolt
I’ll walk out of this station
Choosing to come back to the pain again
I’ll walk into the great hall
Knowing full well you won’t come out again
I, I’ll close my eyes
Are you ready to die?
Horcruxes and hallows x3
And whatever you choose you’re gonna lose

Mother Forgive Me
03:08
|
|||
|
Beating black just like my heart
A family threat, the darkest art
He has spoken
I am chosen
Sixteen years there goes my life
Not a chance I will survive
Is this where I start
To play my part?
But it’s not like I had a choice
It’s not like I had a voice
It’s not like I had a reason
To say no
I had one important task
A chance to prove my worth at last
If I die at least in glory is
How I’ll go
A curse upon the innocent
A poison in another’s hand
And I cannot mend
What is broken
Staring at my reflection
The face I see is not my own
I am bleeding
Please just leave me
But it’s not like I had a choice
It’s not like I had a voice
It’s not like I had a reason
To say no
I have one important task
A chance to prove my worth at last
If I die it’s still in glory is
How I’ll go

Mother forgive me I think I’ve failed
I’ve tried everything and
I don’t think I can go on
I am broken
A piece of the puzzle that don’t quite fit
The part of the story that I am in
Feels so wrong
I am broken
Take me back to the beginning
Spells and scars and right and wrong
A flash of green a mother’s song
And we’re too young
To be soldiers
I kneel before you not quite sure
I recognise the boy before
In my own home
It’s a war zone
Now I have to make a choice
Now’s the chance to use my voice
Maybe glory ain’t enough
Anymore
So I throw my wand and pray
Again today he’ll save the day
If I die on the right side
Is how I’ll go
Mother forgive me I think I’ve changed
I’ve tried everything and I
Don’t think I can go on
I have woken
My piece of the puzzle will never fit
Your side of the war and it breaks me just
To know that
I have chosen him
Can’t go back to the beginning

Howling
03:36
|
|||
|
I am bound to the moon
But for the first time I think I’ll make it through
These four walls, My lonesome cage
But my four paw prints are
Not alone from today
We will bound through the trees,
Sharing secrets of what it means to be free
Running wild, Feel the breeze
And I know what to do when
When I cannot speak and I’m
Howling at the moon
I am howling at the moon
There are four of us now
We’ll take the Forrest and see what can be found
You are mine, If for tonight
And I will show you
What my life is like when I’m
Howling at the moon
I am howling at the moon
I know my place in this world
I know the burden that this secret entails
But with you here, It’s not so bad
You are family that
This wolf never had and I’m
Howling at the moon
I am howling at the moon
If I could go back for just one night
To sharing secrets and mapping out our lives
At 21 you lied to me
And now it’s 4 to 1 and
No one hears me scream when I’m
Howling at the moon
I am howling at the moon

Two Little Girls
04:30
|

|
You were the better sister
You were the better friend
You were the better daughter
But where does that leave me then
I was just ordinary
And you were just so much more
I remember when you would tell me
That magic can be a bore
Oh I thought
It was us against the world
But you left me all alone
I was just a little girl
You didn’t come back til summer
And so much has changed since then
I tried to be what they wanted
But your letters made them forget
Oh I know
You think you’re better than me now
Each time you leave me in this hell
I won’t forgive you there’s no doubt
Two little girls at the hill by the woods
But I couldn’t make butterflies of flowers like you could
I’m leaving this place tomorrow
On the second I turn eighteen
Without living in your shadow
Maybe I’ll finally get some peace
I didn’t know
Where my life was heading next
But with you in my rear view
Maybe I won’t be second best
Two little girls at the hill by the woods
But I couldn’t make butterflies of flowers like you could
It has been six long years now
Since you have been in my life
Then a bundle lands on my doorstep
With a letter and your green eyes
And it’s too late
To make up for what has past
So I’ll take him in my arms
And resent I am his last
Two little girls at the hill by the woods
But I couldn’t make butterflies of flowers like you could
And I wish that I could have shown you
All the letters I didn’t send
And I know I didn’t tell you
But I loved you until the end

7th Favourite Weasley
03:20
|
|||
|
I got a promotion last week from the ministry of magic
And that might be a big deal to you but for me it’s all I’ve wanted
But dad said that
It’s not what it looks like
Oh son you’re not following your nose
Oh and I said I don’t care anymore
I’m done with hand me down robes
Cos I am lost in the crowd
Just tryna stick out
And make my mother proud
Cos when you’re everyone’s 7th favourite Weasley child
Just tryna stick out
And make my father proud
And 22 months can fly by when you’re working for the enemy
And I’ve known for a while now but how do you come back from treachery
And I know that
It’s not what it looked like
I’m finished not following my nose
And it’s time I came back for the fight
And ask forgiveness from those I know
Cos I was lost in the crowd
Just tryna stick out
And make my mother proud
Cos when you’re everyone’s 7th favourite Weasley child
Just tryna stick out
And make my father proud
So I’m in the tunnel
From the hog head pub and
The light at the end it looms
Then I am greeted
By my whole family
Alone in the room
It wasn’t what it looked like
I’m sorry I didn’t follow my nose
Oh and I don’t know if it matters to you
But I just want to come home
Cos I been lost in the crowd
Just tryna stick out
And make everyone proud
Cos when you’re everyone’s 7th favourite Weasley child
Just tryna stick out
And my family proud
Cos I been lost in the crowd
Just tryna stick out
And make everyone proud
Cos when you’re everyone’s 7th favourite Weasley child
Just tryna stick out
And my family proud

War is on the way
It’s getting closer
Can you feel it
And we have made our decision
We’re ready to fight
Til it’s over til it’s over
So Harry don’t you go and throw this all away
In the forest no we need you here today
And don’t you listen to a single word they say
Cos Voldemort is gunna kill us
Gonna kills us either way
No we gotta keep going
War it rages on
Through these walls
Through everyone
And we know
It’s getting harder to breathe
But it don’t matter it don’t matter
So Harry don’t you go and throw this all away
In the forest no we need you here today
And don’t you listen to a single word they say
Cos Voldemort is gunna kill us
Gonna kill us either way
We’ll keep on
And we’ll keep fighting
And we don’t know if we’ll survive it
But we’ll be together and we’ll be strong
And fight the dark arts
Until they’re back where they belong
So Harry if you go and throw this all away
In the forest know that we are here to stay
And we won’t listen to a single word they say
No they won’t break us they won’t break us
Cos we are
We are the DA
We are the DA
We are the DA

The Boy Who Saved
02:23
|
|||
|
Emerald eyes full of tears
How did we get from there to here?
From little boats and high stone walls
I watch them crumble as they fall
Running through the battlefield
There’s no time to stop and feel it’s real
If I don’t make it to the trees
Everything I love will cease to be
So go and take me as your offering
So go and take me as your sacrifice
This is my gift to all of you
This is the power a mother’s love can do
This is our chance to make it right
Make the right choices and we will win this fight
Tonight
Fallen heroes in the hall
Just an hour to take in it all
And when he’s carried through the trees
It is over we and we can’t seem to speak
Every eye is full of tears
The saviour is gone and we are lost in fear
But then he’s risen from the ground
And any hope that’s lost can still be found
And you’ve been valiant you’ve been brave
The boy who lived became the boy who saved
And this was his gift to all of you
This is the power a mother’s love can do
And we’ve got a chance to make it right
We win this battle and we will the war
Tonight

Perspective
03:46
|
|||
|
Superficial
Consequential
You are irrefutable
And illogical
You are not
What I had in mind
When I was just eleven
On a long train ride
Now you’re on my mind
And the clock just chimed midnight
You ruined the whole night
You really are that blind
But I can’t deny
There is something to this
I feel something different
What would it be like to dance with you?
If you hadn’t messed up it could be true
Take me in your arms and find a new
Perspective
But you missed your chance now you’ll have to wait
Before I forgive you you’ll have to say
That you are sorry for letting this unfurl
And change your perspective
Before I’ll be your girl
This is not
Black and white
I am not the kind of witch
Who’ll keep your heart entwined
You’ll have to work
And keep up with me
Cos I will not slow down for you
I’m running at full speed
But I can’t deny
There is something special
About those freckles
What would it be like to dance with you?
If you hadn’t messed up it could be true
Take me in your arms and find a new
Perspective
But you missed your chance now you’ll have to wait
Before I forgive you you’ll have to say
That you are sorry for letting this unfurl
And change your perspective
Before I’ll be your —
What would it be like to take that chance?
To walk side by side you and hold your hand
We’re fighting a war and we need a new
Perspective
So maybe it’s now or it’s not at all
It’s the final battle the curtain call
You mention the house elves and I am lost for words
You changed your perspective
So now I’ll be your girl
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na

Remus (Bonus Track)
01:48
|

|
Remus, Remus, there’s something on my mind
I’ve been trying to tell you, but the words never come out right
So I wrote them out in this song, and hope that you will stay
To sit down and listen, to what I have to say
I’ve known you now for five years, but it feels like a lifetime
I don’t remember a day without you by my side
We are messers Wormtail, Moony, Padfoot and Prongs
Four of the best marauders, but you’re the only one I want
So run with me on four legs while the moon is high,
And kiss me slow on two legs while the sun is bright,
I’ll take you out to Hogsmeade and Honeydukes if you like
So jump up right behind me and we’ll fly around on my bike
So what do you say moony, think it over for me
I know I could make you happy, just gimme a try you’ll see
That’a all the words that I wrote, cos I ran out of time
But I hope they worked anyway and that you will be mine
