Peter Pettigrew’s Detour”
To the tune of Man in the Mirror by Michael Jackson

Peter Pettigrew:

I'm gonna make a change, for once in my life
I’m gonna be really brave, gonna make the difference
Gonna make it right ...
As I turn up the hood of my Death Eater’s black cloak
An idea is piercing my mind
I see the kid named Harry, without his family
Who am I, to be blind
Pretending I don’t feel guilty ?
I know the time has come, to help the boy survive
To save him from defeat
The Dark Lord is powerful, you know
'Cause in bits he split his soul
That's why I want you to know

Chorus:
I'll fight with the Boy-Who-Lived
I'll help him to save the day
And though the Dark Mark couldn’t be any clearer
I know Harry’ll make this world a better place
(I know Harry’ll make this world a better place)
I’m redeeming myself, I will get my chance
(I’m redeeming myself, I will get my chance)

(Na na na, na na na, na na, na nah)

I've been a victim of my selfish kind of love
It's time that I realize
That am here all alone, not a friend to love
Could it be really me, pretending I like the Dark Lord?

The Potters’ son is scarred, Sirius Black’s broken life
The Dark Lord’s returned
(Dark Lord’s returned)
I followed the way of cowards, you see
'Cause I sold my friends to him
That's why I want to redeem
(Want to redeem)

Chorus:
I'll fight with the boy who lived
I'll help him to save the day
And though the Dark Mark couldn’t be any clearer
I know Harry’ll make this world a better place
(I know Harry’ll make this world a better place)
I’m redeeming myself, I will get my chance
(I’m redeeming myself, I will get my chance)

I’ll make that change.
