Story behind the song
A song written for JK Rowling about the fandom and the run up to Book 7. We hope she will hear it one day :).
Lyrics
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've long been asleep because 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.
And though all seven 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 grew 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.
(Chorus)
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.
(Chorus)
So, Ms Rowling, this is the song I wrote for you.
Here's to you now and your future
And I just wanted to say thank you.
