A Wizard Has Dreams
Disclaimer: I don't own Mary Poppins or Harry Potter. This is a filk to the MP song "A Man Has Dreams."
Albus:
A wizard has dreams of walking with giants
To carve his niche in the edifice of time
Before the mortar of his zeal
Has a chance to congeal
The cup is dashed from his lips
His chance at love is gone
He's brought to rack and ruin in his prime
My world is calm, well ordered, exemplary
But Minerva's absence leaves chaos in its wake
And now my love might die, from four foul blows,
It's quite a bitter pill to take
Fawkes:
A sherbet lemon, that is all it takes
It changes bread and water into tea and cakes
A sherbet lemon goes a long, long way
Have yourself a healthy helping every day
You're a man of high position
Esteemed by your peers
And when your lover is dying
You haven't time to dry her tears
And see her grateful aging face
Smiling up at you
Because a wizard, he always knows
Just what to do
You've got to grind, grind, grind
At that grindstone
Though her life slips like sand through a sieve
And all too soon she's dead and gone
And then she's moved on
And it's too late for you to give your love
Just that sherbet lemon
To help the medicine go down
The medicine go down, the medicine go down.
