about

My contribution to the 2020 Wizard Rock Sampler! Eventually, I want to rerecord these demos and add a couple more to make an EP, but no promises. This one is from the point of view of Hermione's parents, and contains allusions to Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie.

lyrics

Tap the bricks and watch them show
The world that's yours, the world you'll know
A magic wand and witch's robes
Our path has split; we're forced on separate roads

But some things will remain the same
Your love of books, your bushy mane
Eleven years were far too few
Peter came and so our darling flew

Give me strength to bear the weight
Of what I cannot change
Help her to forge her own fate
In a world that seems so strange
She flew away to Neverland
Forever intertwined
Don't know if she can understand
The way we're left behind

Ten months each year spent away
And family plans still fall astray
Each Christmas that we spend apart
I wonder what place we hold in your heart

Show your world what you can give
Find out what it means to live
Know right from wrong and guard it true
'Cause Neverland has pirates too

Give her strength to bear the weight
Of what she wants to change
Help her to forge her own fate
In a world that is so strange
She flew away to Neverland
Are we still on her mind?
Don't know if she can understand
How we feel left behind

Hermione, we understand
This magic war has forced your hand
So cast the spell, don't hesitate
We won't know you, but we will wait

Give her strength to bear the weight
Of what she chose to change
Help her to forge her own fate
In a world that is so strange
She'll travel far across the land
But we'll stay on her mind
She knows that we understand
She won't leave us behind

You came for us across the world
Lives restored and spells unfurled
You kept us safe, helped win the war
How could a parent ask for more?

I'm a long-time wizard rock fan who occasionally writes melancholic wizard rock songs. Some debuted on the free wizard rock samplers, but here I've collected all my songs in one place.
