I never knew my parents, they died when I was small,
And my uncle and my aunt who raised me had no love at all.
All my life I've waited, just trying to get by
In a world where I'm not wanted, in a place I cannot fly.
Then upon my birthday, wondrous and strange,
Magic came into my life and things began to change.
And they tell me that I'm famous for something that I did,
But I'm just a boy named Harry, an ordinary kid.
Chorus:
There is magic in the sky, there is magic in the wood,
There is magic strong in darkness and stronger still in good.
There is magic in the sorrow and magic in the joy
And magic in the heart of a boy.
I feel like I belong here but I wonder if they know;
Can they see the fear that's in my eyes, does my hesitation show?
Most of them accept me, and most are just like me,
And most of them are frightened of the parts they cannot see.
They cannot know what happened in the dawning of my life,
They cannot see the emptiness that cuts me like a knife.
They only see a legend as I learn to be a man--
But I'm just a boy named Harry and I'll do the best I can.
Chorus
All my life I've waited, just trying to get by,
But now I've learned about myself, now I've learned to fly.
And to friends and those who love me it doesn't matter what I did--
To them I'm just plain Harry, an ordinary kid.
