HARRY:

Underneath these stairs I hear the sneers and feel glares of my

cousin, my uncle and my aunt
        
Can't believe how cruel they are and it stings my lighting scar
                                                    /
to know that they'll never ever give me what I want.
  
I know I don't deserve these stupid

rules made by the Dursleys
          / 
here on Privet   drive
      
Can't take all of these muggles,
     
but despite all of my struggles,

I'm still alive

                                      
Im sick of summer and this waiting around
                                          
Man, its September, and Im skipping this town
                                         
Hey Its no mystery, theres nothing here for me now

                           /      
I gotta get back to Hogwarts
                          
I gotta get back to school
                           /      
Gotta get myself to Hogwarts,
                                    
where everybody knows I'm cool

                                          
Back to wizards and witches, and magical beasts,
                                       
to goblins and ghosts and to magical feasts
                                    
Its all that I love, and it's all that I need
