WELL IT ALL STARTED OUT PRETTY BAD
AS A BABY, I LOST MOM AND DAD
SEE THE DARK LORD CALLED VOLDEMORT WANTED ME DEAD
OR I'D GROW UP TO KILL HIM INSTEAD
SO HE CAME TO OUR HIDEOUT ONE NIGHT
AND MY PARENTS PUT UP QUITE THE FIGHT
BUT IT ALL WAS IN VAIN, BOTH MY PARENTS WERE SLAIN
THEN HE CAME UP TO ME, JUST A BABY ALONE
AND HE DIDN'T FOR SEE, WELL HE COULDN'T HAVE KNOWN
THAT HIS MAGIC WOULD FAIL, AND DESTROY HIM INSTEAD
WHILE THE BABY'D PREVAIL, WITH THIS SCAR ON HIS HEAD
I'M THE BOY WHO LIVED
I'M THE BOY WHO LIVED
AND OH WHAT A LIFE IT'S BEEN
I MOVED IN WITH MY UNCLE AND AUNT
WHO WOULD KEEP ME ALL SKINNY AND GAUNT
I WAS PUT IN A CLOSET RIGHT UNDER THE STAIRS
THEY WERE MEAN, BUT DEEP DOWN THEY WERE SCARED
THEY MADE SURE I STAYED QUITE UNAWARE
THEN WHEN I TURNED ELEVEN YEARS OLD
ON A NIGHT WITH A WIND BLOWING COLD
THE FRONT DOOR WAS SMASHED DOWN BY A MAN DRESSED IN BROWN
HAGRID CAME UP TO ME, WITH A LETTER IN HAND
WHAT? A LETTER FOR ME? I JUST CAN'T UNDERSTAND
"OH WELL, DIDN'T YOU KNOW, YOU'RE A WIZARD, HARRY"
AND FROM THAT LITTLE MOMENT ON I WOULD BE FREE
I'M THE BOY WHO LIVED
I'M THE BOY WHO LIVED
AND OH WHAT A LIFE IT'S BEEN
NOW BEGAN THE BEST YEARS THAT I'VE HAD
THOUGH I OFTEN WAS NAUGHTY, AND BAD
I WOULD BREAK EVERY LAW, YES IT'S CLEAR I CAN SO-
LEMNLY SWEAR, I WAS UP TO NO GOOD!
I MET TWO OF MY BEST FRIENDS FOR LIFE
AND WHO KNEW, NOW THEY'RE HUSBAND AND WIFE!
I PLAYED QUIDDITCH ON BROOMS, WE EXPLORED SECRET ROOMS
LEARNED AS MUCH AS WE POSSIBLY COULD!
THERE WERE SO MANY THINGS TO BE DONE
THOUGH THEY WEREN'T ALWAYS JOLLY AND FUN
AT THE END OF EACH YEAR THE DARK LORD WOULD APPEAR
AND ATTEMPT TO REGAIN ALL HIS MIGHT
THROUGH A SORCERERS STONE, OR A BOOK
HE KEPT GOING, WHATEVER IT TOOK
WHEN THE GOBLET OF FIRE WORKED JUST AS DESIRED
HE FINALLY CAME BACK TO THE LIGHT
THEN WE FOUGHT TO THE END
I LOST SO MANY FRIENDS
THEY WERE ALL SO MUCH BRAVER THAN ME
BUT I DID, WHAT I COULD
I STOOD UP FOR THE GOOD
AND FULFILLED THE PROPHECY
THEN I MARRIED THE GIRL OF MY DREAMS
I THINK WE MAKE AN EXCELLENT TEAM
WE ARE RAISING OUR THREE DARLING CHILDREN THAT WE
NAMED FOR PEOPLE WE LOVED AND WE LOST
NOW I OFTEN LOOK BACK ON THOSE YEARS
WITH A SMILE, BUT ALSO WITH TEARS
THOUGH I'M SURE THAT THE FUTURE, WILL BRING SOMETHING NEW
A NEW EVIL TO FIGHT, A NEW STORY TO TELL
TEN MORE CHAPTERS TO WRITE, AND MORE NOVELS TO SELL,
TEN MORE MOVIES TO MAKE, AND MORE THEME PARKS TO BUILD
CRAZY RECORDS TO BREAK, THE WHOLE WORLD WILL BE THRILLED!
I'M THE BOY WHO LIVED
I'M THE BOY WHO LIVED
OH AND WHAT A LIFE IT'S BEEN!
