REAL WIZARD ROCK

Harry, I know that you never really knew your father
He was taken from all of us way too soon
He was strong and good, and he was an amazing seeker
And one of the best damn wizards that I ever knew

He loved his friends
He would help out any of us if we were in need
And he loved your mother with a fire like you wouldn’t believe

But I can’t quite describe exactly how he felt about you
There was so much pride and joy and expectation
Every time he looked at you

And, Harry, you remind me of him every single day
The goodness of your heart and what you do
And if he were here right now to see the man that you’re becoming
He would be so proud of you
He would be so proud of you

Harry, you know that I’m not the man that I once was
Years in Azkaban will do that to a soul
But my strongest guilt comes from letting James and Lily down
It was a bad choice that I made and I’ll never forgive myself

But I swear this to you: I will be by your side forevermore
My wand and back are yours to take
I’ll fight for you, and I’ll fight for your father
Because to make sure you’re not hurt I would gladly give my life away

And, Harry, you remind me of him every single day
The goodness of your heart and what you do
And if he were here right now to see the man that you’re becoming
He would be so proud of you
He would be so proud of you
He would be so proud of you
James would be so proud of you

Harry, I know that you never really knew your father
He was taken from all of us way too soon
