Pick up that letter now, open the page The time has come for you to go, Doesn’t matter about age. ‘Cause now we’re going.. Now we’re going! I said we’re going to Hogwarts, I’ve got my wand! Going to Hogwarts, Just hold on… A new life awaits you when you step on the train, Leave your cares behind you as We drive through the rain. ‘Cause now we’re going.. Now we’re going! I said we’re going to Hogwarts, I’ve got my wand! Going to Hogwarts, Just hold on.. Gryffindor or Hufflepuff, Slytherin or Ravenclaw, Take the chance and I promise you, You’ll never look back! ‘Cause now we’re going.. Now we’re going! I said we’re going to Hogwarts, I’ve got my wand! Going to Hogwarts, Just hold on..

Here I am again, on my own. The door has closed on me, Dark is what I know, A strip of moonlight settles on the floor. I can make it out from underneath this bolted door. I wish that I could climb these stairs, Reach the window, see out there. But I’m a prisoner and only see the underside, Imagining the night-time, And the world that seemed so wide. CHORUS: Once I read about the power of night, A kind of magic sets the world alight. And I watch the back of the door, And the moonlight on the floor And i hope that some day I’ll see A magic just like that. I pull a spider off my pillowcase, Lay down on the bed and start to stare into space. I close my eyes, begin to drift away, Far beyond these four walls where I wish I could stay. If only I could see the sky, Spend one night that I’m not blind. But I’m a prisoner and only see the under-side, Imagining the night-time, And the world that seemed so wide. Once I read about the power of night, A kind of magic sets the world alight. And I watch the back of the door, And the moonlight on the floor And i hope that some day I’ll see A magic just like that.

Me 02:35
Writhing inside this skin, this face So foreign to this place Nothing is where it’s meant to be Inside this beast called me No heart is here, A clock stopped somewhere long ago When I split My soul Don’t say my name or I will find you Where ever you hide Serpentine sounds will sing so free And sing to you of me That sound so clear That never ceasing sense of fear Knowing I am near

The Raid 03:24
Plans are made as we make our way to the underground, Past the goblins and flaming torches we’re in now… The clock is ticking against us, Got to get to the horcrux, Only chance is here, can’t give into fear, Nothing’s going to stop us! So impossible, undoable, unreachable Oh, we got it now! We got it now! We’ve got to get out! Pulses race as we can’t escape from the underground, Left and right we go and we know there’s no way out. Raging fire before us, Enormous dragon to help us, Climb aboard in time, soar toward the sky, Freedom stretches above us. So impossible, undoable, unreachable Oh, we got it now! We got it now! We’ve got to get out!

Another day dawns and the sky is still above my head. I feel the ground below and that’s just how I know it’s not the end. And when the time comes to say goodbye, I know I’ll cry. But just remember the story told All those years unfolding right in front of us, Don’t let it go, don’t let it go. Hold together, don’t fall apart, No matter what you do. No matter where you go remember that somebody still loves you. And when the time comes to say goodbye, I know I’ll cry. But just remember the story told All those years unfolding right in front of us, Don’t let it go, don’t let it go. And when the time comes to say goodbye, I know I’ll cry. And when the time comes to say goodbye, I know I’ll cry.

Seventeen 02:49
No more talking, Remember me here, And stop pretending this will all disappear Words fail me now. You’re leaving me And I know you have to go, But forgive me if I shed a tear for you My strength fails me now. And I cry, I cry when watching you leave And I’ll try, I’ll try to be the one to fight and breathe Without you with me. So happy birthday, I hope you made a wish My gift to you is just a kiss Please don’t fail me now And I cry, I cry when watching you leave And I’ll try, I’ll try to be the one to fight and breathe Without you with me.

Fighting 04:54
I can’t sleep tonight Keep tossing in bed Just keep going over These thoughts in my head I know that it’s up to me To fight the good fight But nothing can stop these fears From haunting me at night Chorus 1 Once again it’s up to me Fighting demons no one sees Oh, oh Things are different now We see it in him His smile doesn’t reach his eyes But he keeps it all in Just let us share the load, We’ll stand by your side. Don’t think that you’re on your own We’re with you in this fight! Chorus 2 Why can’t you see that we’re here To fight with you until the end? Nothing can stop us from being there When you most need your friends. Thing seem darker right now, But we wouldn’t leave you alone. Just look around you and see That when you’re with us, you’re home. No one can understand The cross that I bear I just want somebody Someone, who’ll be there [All three] And though we all know There’s darkness on the way Together we’re stronger We’re with you, come what may! Chorus 1 & Chorus 2

I’ve always been true to me And people said I’m weird All alone I would wonder why Why their hearts were closed To things they did not know I’m the girl you used to see On my own beneath the beech tree Now that has changed I don’t feel so sad Because I have friends who care And now my heart’s repaired. And I’ll sing this song tonight Let the darkness turn to light When I see my friends once more My spirit starts to soar It’s funny how things can change I know that people say I’m strange But I can’t get hurt now that I have Their love to keep me strong I know that I belong And I’ll sing this song tonight Let the darkness turn to light When I see my friends once more My spirit starts to soar
