Song of Years

The fever has gripped me once again and since part 1 of the last installment had just premiered, (I was able to watch the movie on the big screen) , thought I might share some of my Harry Potter collection. These were compiled along the years as I followed Harry and his gang.


Like many fans, I also grew up along with the trio and shared some of the struggles they underwent. But for me, what's unique and captivating about this series is that its not a love story. Although the characters possess supernatural powers, still the battles they fought within themselves were very human - one that we all could relate from. But aside from that, it also delves more on the strong bond that true friends share and the great heights one would willingly undergo for the sake of a pal. Indeed, one who finds a true friend finds a treasure.

I set out on a narrow way, many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you


Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true

That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you


I think about the years I spent, just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost, and give it back to you
But you just smiled and took my hand
You've been there, you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true

That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

But now I'm just rolling home into my lover's arms
This much I know is true

That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

This is from Pixar's short film featured in the Disney movie "The Incredibles". I listened intently and wrote the lyrics so I am not a hundred percent sure if all the words are correct. Nevertheless, I like this story for it had a lesson we can all learn from: When life seems to be bring you down, you just bound right back.


Here's a story on how strange is life with its changes
And it happened not long ago:

On a high mountain plain, where the sagebrush arranges
A playground south of the snow
Lived a lamb with a coat of remarkable sheen,
It would glint in the sunlight all sparkly and clean,
Such a source of great pride
that it caused him to preen.
And he'd break out in high stepp'n dance.

He would dance for his neighbors across the way.
I must say that they found his dancin enhancin,
For they also join in the play. 

Then one day…
