The Bravest Man I Ever Knew

I have given you a name
One that shows you can always change
No matter the way or mistake you've made
And sometimes consequences define your life with hardship.
Will goodness be the banner you raise?
'Cause with his last breath
Severus said, "Take it, take it!"

Living in disguise
A true wizard on the inside
Not afraid of what he had to do
He was the bravest man I ever knew

Albus Severus
You were named for two headmasters of Hogwarts
One of them was a Slytherin
And he was, probably
The bravest man I ever knew

A true wizard on the inside
The bravest man I ever knew
A true wizard on the inside

All these things that tie us close
To what matters most
We cannot let go
And sometimes consequences define your live with hardship
Will goodness be the banner you raise?
'Cause with his last breath
Severus said, "Take it, take it!"

Living in disguise
A true wizard on the inside
Not afraid of what he had to do
He was the bravest man I ever knew

Long ago I had a teacher
A sallow-skinned Slytherin with long black hair
I hated him and he seemed to hate me, too
Though I branded him a coward he was, in fact
The bravest man I ever knew

A true wizard on the inside
The bravest man I ever knew
The bravest man I ever knew
A true wizard on the inside
The bravest man I ever knew

Always, always
There's so much in one word
Always, always
