The First of september

Lyrics

The Express rolls out full of laughter and light, Platform nine and three-quarters opens its door. Trunks and the owls and a face shining bright, the journey back home starts the same as before. First of September – the rails start to shake, the castle calls home with a thunderous song. We roar through the night for the magic we make, Hogwarts forever, the spell lasts so long! The boats glide so softly to the fortress of stone, first-years look upward, their wonder so wide. The courtyard is ringing, we’re never alone, enchantment surrounds us on this golden tide. First of September – the rails start to shake, the castle calls home with a thunderous song. We roar through the night for the magic we make, Hogwarts forever, the spell lasts so long! The Hat sings the names in a voice strong and clear, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, all of us here. The feast blazes bright and the banquets appear, we toast to the magic that starts a new year. The night detonates, every voice now combining, guitars born of magic are pounding the beat. We throw both our fists up and let ourselves shining, Hogwarts of stone turns to thunder and heat! First of September – the rails start to shake, the castle calls home with a thunderous song. We roar through the night for the magic we make, Hogwarts forever, the spell lasts so long! Hogwarts forever, the spell lasts so long!
