Mother’s Love

to the tune of _Landslide_ by Stevie Nicks 



http://burnish.net/audio.php

Dedicated to my babies, who will always be my babies, even though they’re six and two.

(The Scene: Godric’s Hollow, in one-year-old Harry’s bedroom. Lily is performing a spell that will protect Harry should she die saving his life. As she is doing so, she is pondering the unsure future for her son, knowing that he will not have it easy. Lily also shows her true Gryffindor colors during this scene by being willing to do what needs to be done even though she is afraid...the true meaning of courage.)

LILY:

I take my love and point my wand

And I give this love that knows no bounds.

I can see my reflection in my young son’s eyes. 

May this love-charm him surround.

 

Oh, will my child know his mother’s love?

Can this child within my arms rise above?

Will his days be full of hurtful strife? 

Can he handle the challenge of his life?

Mmhmmm, I don’t know...

Mmhmmm, I hope so...

 

Well, I’m so afraid of dying,

but I know it’ll save your life.

And if it saves you, 

you will save others, too...

perhaps all wizard-kind.

Yes, you’ll save wizard-kind. So...

 

(She is now rocking a subdued Harry while humming during this guitar interlude)

 

Though I’m so afraid of dying,

It’s what I am willing to do

My love’s never ending,

time I am spending 

is precious here with you. 

Yes, my darling one, we two.

 

So, here’s my love, little one,

for the mountains you must climb if I’m not around.

I can see my reflection in your bright green eyes...

may this keep you safe and sound.



 

And, if you see my reflection in your bright green eyes...

Know I’m always with you now.

 

NOTE: My interpretation of what’s been discussed before on the list. This song uses the theories that Lily performed some sort of spell for Harry’s protection and that there is a prediction that Harry will be the one to bring down Voldemort, thereby saving the Wizarding World.
