I Swear I'll Give My Life For You
You, who I cradle in my arms, you. Asking as little as you can. A little snip, of a little man. I know I'd give my life for you.
I know that Voldemort is after us. For some reason unbeknownst to myself, I'm not afraid for my own life. I'm more afraid for my son's.
You didn't ask me to be born. Why should you learn of hate or pain? To make sure you're not hurt again, I swear I'll give my life for you.
Sirius convinced James to switch Secret-Keepers, but he didn't convince me. I know Peter will betray us. He always was the weak type. The blood he's about to spill will splash on him and stain him forever.
I've tasted love beyond all fear…and you should know it's love that brought you here. And in one perfect night, when the stars burned like new…I knew what I must do..
He is growing stronger. I know that, even if I do die, my son will probably, as well. But, I'll die trying to save him.
I'll give you a million things I'll never own.
It's starry outside, but inside my mind is a dark sky, with only one star burning brightly enough for me to not fear death.brbr
I'll give you a world to conquer when you're grown. You will be who you want to be, you can choose whatever heaven grants.
I'm running, clinging to him. In my mind I know James is dead, and I'll soon be joining him. My mind has only one goal: Protect Harry
As long as you can have your chance, I swear I'll give my life for you.
It's quiet now, despite Voldemort's cruel laugh. I know that soon he will utter those two words, and I will join my husband. But I don't mind, as long as my son survives.
Sometimes I wake up, reaching for him. I feel his shadow brush my head, but there's just moonlight on my bed…Bring him to me…
I know I only have minutes left. I just want Voldemort to kill me and get it over with, so I can make my final sacrifice.brbr
You will be who you want to be, you can choose whatever heaven grants. As long as you can have your chance…
He is yelling at me. I'm yelling back. Our conversation is incomprehensible to my ears. I'm focusing on our son, not caring what happens to me, as long as he survives.
I swear I'll give my life for you
He's telling me to step aside, but I remain standing. And then, it happens, he utters those two words, which mark my doom, and my son's survival. No, you cannot have him…
No one can stop what I must do…I swear I'll give my life for you…
The End
Author's note: My first (song)fic here, not bad, huh? Anyways, Lily and co. are property of J.K. Rowling, and I Swear I'll Give My Life For You is from Miss Saigon, property of Cameron Mackintosh. I thought the song applied nicely to this situation ^-^
