Expelliarmus

There is a spell that you can use
When higher powers are being abused
Grab your face mask and your H2O
Ready your wand, it's time to go
Expelliarmus, make the tear gas disappear
Expelliarmus, you can ditch your riot gear
Put down your bullets and your guns
Realize you can be the ones
To end the violence and the death
So take a breath...
There are signs that you will see
Black Lives Matter, chant with me
Raise your pride flags up into the air
Get your wand and then prepare
Expelliarmus, make the tear gas disappear
Expelliarmus, you can ditch your riot gear
Put down your bullets and your guns
Realize you can be the ones
To end the violence and the death
So take a breath...
Cast a spell to stop the hate
Black lives aren't up for debate
It's time to stand and it is time to fight
Let's bring injustice to light
Expelliarmus, make the tear gas disappear
Expelliarmus, you can ditch your riot gear
Put down your bullets and your guns
Realize you can be the ones
To end the violence and the death
So take a breath...
Expelliarmus, make the tear gas disappear
Expelliarmus, you can ditch your riot gear
Put down your bullets and your guns
Realize you can be the ones
To end the violence and the death
So take a breath...

Sit Down

You can sit down
You can stop talking now
We've made it clear we don't want you around
You can just go
You can walk out that door
And don't let it hit you on the way out
We're tired and we're sick of all the stupid things you say
We never would have thought that you'd turn out to be this way
But we don't need you anymore, you're free to go, you're done
We'll take good care of Harry, so see ya! It's been fun.
We don't need you
To tell us what you think
We've learned for ourselves to take a stand
We'll say goodbye
We will see you around
We're spreading the word to all your fans
We're tired and we're sick of all the stupid things you say
We never would have thought that you'd turn out to be this way
But we don't need you anymore, you're free to go, you're done
We'll take good care of Harry, so see ya! It's been fun.
We've had enough
Of all of your thoughts and fears
We see you now for what you truly are
We'll be okay
We have each other now
And what we have you'll never take away
We're tired and we're sick of all the stupid things you say
We never would have thought that you'd turn out to be this way
But we don't need you anymore, you're free to go, you're done
We'll take good care of Harry, so see ya! It's been fun.

Take a Page
04:38

Have you ever thought to wait before you speak?
Have you ever listened to the humble and the meek?
Did you ever think that we'd be where we are today
If everyone could understand what we've tried to say?
Take a page from Ravenclaw and open up your mind
Take a page from Hufflepuff, be welcoming and kind
Take a page from Gryffindor, protect your friends, be brave
Take a page from Slytherin, it's justice that we crave
If we had the magic to amplify a voice
I would cast Sonorus if I had the choice
So everyone could hear the message they have tried to shatter
We all need to tell the world that Black Lives Matter
Take a page from Ravenclaw and open up your mind
Take a page from Hufflepuff, be welcoming and kind
Take a page from Gryffindor, protect your friends, be brave
Take a page from Slytherin, it's justice that we crave
In the movies, Lavender Brown was changed from black to white
Blatantly erasing race just doesn't seem quite right
I would like to think that Hogwarts had diversity
But all the evidence we have points to the contrary
Take a page from Ravenclaw and open up your mind
Take a page from Hufflepuff, be welcoming and kind
Take a page from Gryffindor, protect your friends, be brave
Take a page from Slytherin, it's justice that we crave
If the world was truly magical, we'd have equity
For everyone that finds themselves in a minority
Stop the murders, stop the hate, and maybe we can give
A chance to everyone on Earth to peacefully live
Take a page from Ravenclaw and open up your mind
Take a page from Hufflepuff, be welcoming and kind
Take a page from Gryffindor, protect your friends, be brave
Take a page from Slytherin, it's justice that we crave

Magical Megaphone

Anytime there was a game of Quidditch
He was first to get out to the pitch
High above the players and the crowd
Commentating on the game, Gryffindor proud
Lee Jordan's favorite spell's Sonorus
When he speaks we join in the chorus
Of songs and chants and rally cries
Lee's in charge, look in his eyes
Let's hear what he has to say
And follow him to a brighter day
When commentating Quidditch, he used a megaphone
Whenever he talks, you never feel alone
And now he stands for justice and for peace
Letting his voice and thoughts release
Lee Jordan's favorite spell's Sonorus
When he speaks we join in the chorus
Of songs and chants and rally cries
Lee's in charge, look in his eyes
Let's hear what he has to say
And follow him to a brighter day
Let's all walk side by side with Lee
Let's put a stop to police brutality
We need to make them understand
So let's give Lee a hand
Lee Jordan's favorite spell's Sonorus
When he speaks we join in the chorus
Of songs and chants and rally cries
Lee's in charge, look in his eyes
Let's hear what he has to say
And follow him to a brighter day
Lee Jordan's favorite spell's Sonorus
When he speaks we join in the chorus
Of songs and chants and rally cries
Lee's in charge, look in his eyes
Let's hear what he has to say
And follow him to a brighter day

20 Second Guidelines

Social distancing is hard when you're away from all your friends
But just think about how awesome it'll be when this thing ends
So stay healthy and stay safe and then one day you will find
We will have a better normal here in record time
That's my 20 second guidelines

Quill of Acceptance

Did you know there is a quill that wrote your Hogwarts letter?
Sometimes known as the Magical Quill, it's made from an augury feather
It doesn't care about your gender, sexuality, or race
As long as you are magical, Hogwarts is your place
The Quill of Acceptance doesn't really care
What your social standing is or how you compare
To other students at the school, and I think we should be
A little bit more like the quill and keep it judgement free
The quill will write your name on the day that you are born
The book that the quill writes in can't be ripped or torn
No one else can write a name except the magic quill
If your friends don't accept you, you know that Hogwarts will
The Quill of Acceptance doesn't really care
What your social standing is or how you compare
To other students at the school, and I think we should be
A little bit more like the quill and keep it judgement free
You can come to Hogwarts and just be yourself
You will not be judged for your looks or lack of wealth
You belong here and the quill accepted you
Now it's time for us to see what you can really do
The Quill of Acceptance doesn't really care
What your social standing is or how you compare
To other students at the school, and I think we should be
A little bit more like the quill and keep it judgement free

Show Up

Show up for the folks that matter
Ignore the ones that try to bring you down
Try to see that there's a pattern
Racism, we don't want you around
Educate yourself
Try to learn something new
We aren't able to make progress
If we don't show up, me and you
We all need to do better
For all those counting on us now
Don't wait to follow a trend-setter
Please don't let me down
Educate yourself
Try to learn something new
We aren't able to make progress
If we don't show up, me and you

What do you need to be happy?
Do you need to know that your friends truly care?
Maybe you really want a family
Or to feel like you belong somewhere
I hope you love yourself the way that I do
And I hope you know you're valid and have worth
When will you start to realize that you
Are one of the most precious things on Earth?
When I'm there for you, I mean it
You've got someone always on your side
There's magic inside of you, I've seen it
With me, you'll never have to hide
I hope you love yourself the way that I do
And I hope you know you're valid and have worth
When will you start to realize that you
Are one of the most precious things on Earth?
I will cast a shielding charm tonight
In case you need protection from the dark
I'll be with you until daylight
Tomorrow there's a brand new day to start
I hope you love yourself the way that I do
And I hope you know you're valid and have worth
When will you start to realize that you
Are one of the most precious things on Earth?
I hope you love yourself the way that I do
And I hope you know you're valid and have worth
When will you start to realize that you
Are one of the most precious things on Earth?

Open at the Close
03:20

The writing on the snitch said "I Open at the Close"
It seems like an appropriate way to end
The story of the boy who lived, and then the fandom rose
Like a phoenix from the ashes, spreading friend to friend
We are what came out of the snitch
We're the generation that won't give you an inch
To peddle the excuses of what's on your mind
If you had to be anything, why couldn't you be kind?
We'll keep the lessons we were taught of love
We don't need to hear another of
Your opinion on how others live
It seems to me you've given all you have to give
We represent your story's greatest win
The art, the fanfic, and the change we made
But for some unknown reason, your heart won't let us in
No matter how hard you try, we will never fade
We are what came out of the snitch
We're the generation that won't give you an inch
To peddle the excuses of what's on your mind
If you had to be anything, why couldn't you be kind?
We'll keep the lessons we were taught of love
We don't need to hear another of
Your opinion on how others live
It seems to me you've given all you have to give
So thanks for being there at the start
We'll take it from here if you don't mind
You can go away now, you've done your part
I think that it's long past time
We are what came out of the snitch
We're the generation that won't give you an inch
To peddle the excuses of what's on your mind
If you had to be anything, why couldn't you be kind?
We'll keep the lessons we were taught of love
We don't need to hear another of
Your opinion on how others live
It seems to me you've given all you have to give

Consider
01:56
|
|||
|
Why do you have to be
So small minded
And why can't you see
You're so misguided
The shape of the world isn't what you think
You think that by existing, I'm standing on the brink
Of desolation, chaos, and despair
I promise you, I'm not going anywhere
Maybe consider that what other people do
Doesn't even have a direct effect on you
You know that we could maybe live in harmony
If you'd just listen...
If you'd start trying...
To understand me
Not everything has to be a fight
In fact, it's even okay to realize you weren't right
Apologizing won't kill you, I swear
And it costs zero dollars to just sit there and see
The shape of the world isn't what you think
You think that by existing, I'm standing on the brink
Of desolation, chaos, and despair
I promise you, I'm not going anywhere
Maybe consider that what other people do
Doesn't even have a direct effect on you
You know that we could maybe live in harmony
If you'd just listen...
If you'd start trying...
To understand me
