For Jo

This is for Jo

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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 JK Rowling
Thank you so much for Harry

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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 JK Rowling
Thank you so much for Harry

[Bridge]
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
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 JK Rowling
Thank you so much for Harry

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
