This is for Jo.
July 21st 1997, and no one had heard of you
But one decade later, there's queues at the door
People placing their order and shouting for more
How far you have come, how far you have come
Enchanted the world with a story you wrote of a boy who was ordinary
And now parents read to children who have long been asleep
'Cause they want to know more about wizard Harry
How far you have come, how far you have come.
So, Ms. Rowling, here is a song I wrote for you
'Cause I'm grateful for all that you've taught me and inspired me to do
You showed me good triumphs over evil
And you taught the whole world how to read
So thank you, Ms. J. K. Rowling
Thank you so much for Harry
Though all 7 books have been finished and read
The magic is still burning strong
And we who were there will never forget
The anticipation we felt for so long
How far you have come, how far you have come
And we grow up with Harry, the Boy Who Lived
Who has helped us through all the bad times
And the theories and mysteries, the questions and clues
Were the talk of the forums and in our hearts too
How far you have come, how far you have come
So, Ms. Rowling, here is a song I wrote for you
'Cause I'm grateful for all that you've taught me and inspired me to do
You showed me good triumphs over evil
And you taught the whole world how to read
So thank you, Ms. J. K. Rowling
Thank you so much for Harry
So we'll raise our pumpkin juice and our Butterbeer
And we'll sing about the great things you've done
And we'll be happy now Voldemort's defeated
And we'll cheer for Harry, who won
So, Ms. Rowling, here is a song I wrote for you
'Cause I'm grateful for all that you've taught me and inspired me to do
You showed me good triumphs over evil
And you taught the whole world how to read
So thank you, Ms. J. K. Rowling
Thank you so much for Harry
So, Ms. Rowling, this is the song I wrote for you
Here's to you now and to your future, and I just wanted to say thank you
