lyrics

We're older now
The time has come
To show the world
Just what we've become
And what we've done
The time is gone
What's done is past
These 19 years have sped by so fast
I wish it would last

For now we're standing on the platform
Of nine and three quarters
Holding hands
With our sons and daughters
While we remember
Who we used to be

We're all grown up
The time is now
When things got hard
We often wondered
How we'd carry on
But we stayed strong
We lost some friends
Along the way
We won’t forget
We remember them
Each and every day
Because the feeling never goes away

And now we're standing on the platform
Of nine and three quarters
Holding hands
With our sons and daughters
While we remember
Who you used to be

Nineteen years to the day
That everything changed
Clouds fade away
Skies are longer grey
And the sun is here to stay
But that’s not always how it was
And we're only here because
Mr Potter saved the day
And sent Lord Voldemort away

For now we're standing on the platform
Of nine and three quarters
Holding hands
With our sons and daughters

But we'll remember this day
For forever and a day
Because it's nineteen years to the day
That Lord Voldemort was slain
