AN: This is Sirius B.'s POV

~~~

My best friends came to Hogwarts

When I was just a boy

Even then the kids at school said with

Prejudiced eyes

That group's not right

~~~

Ten years ago when we came

To know Lily

First time that someone looked

Beyond the pranking and the lies

Saw the men inside

~~~

They used to call me round to their home

I loved to watch their son tread down

James used to walk me down corr'dors

And dream our way out of that school

~~

No one understood that I didn't do it

No one cared until the night they were

Betrayed all alone

Murdered in their home

~~~

Man with a wand came knocking

That evening

Here was I surrounded by a thousand

Fingers suddenly

Pointed right at me

~~~

I swear I left them just with Peter

I swear I left them safe and sound

I need to make it back to Dumbledore

And leave this God foresaken town

~~~

I think about my life gone by

And how it's done me wrong

There's no escape for me this time

All of my rescues are gone, long gone

~~~

I swear I left them just with Peter

I swear I left them safe and sound

I need to make it back to Dumbledore

And leave this God foresaken town

~~~
