about

A song about the children of the War and all they've given up to defeat Voldemort and make the world a better place.

Based on The Harry Potter Series By JK Rowling (no copyright infringement intended. I do not own the characters or plot line. Only the music, lyrics, and recording)
Quote at the beginning of this song is from The Libation Bearers by: Aeschylus. The audio of it is from the audio book recording of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, read by Jim Dale. No copyright infringement intended.

lyrics

Fate has not been kind to them
These children now and past
None have suffered more than they
Who walk the honest path

How many blackened clouds
Will blot out the sun
How many battles will they lose
Before the war is won?

Prechorus:
So hear our cry, and answer our call
Make heroes of them all
CHORUS:
So bless the children of the dark age
Who rise up against their cage
Bless the children, show them how
And give them triumph now
Give them triumph now

All alone on a darkened path
“For love” is what they said
Love seems so distant when you
Can’t see the road ahead

How many tidal waves
Will crash upon their shore
How many will they lose?
Before they fight no more?

Prechorus
CHORUS
Give them triumph now

Bridge:
For there is something left
To believe in

CHORUS
And give them triumph now
Give them triumph now!
