What Would Dumbledore Do?
(to the Tune of Another Saturday Night by Sam Cooke)

In a world filled with social injustice
Greed and selfishness are on the loose
I'm sitting here and can't help but wondering
What would Dumbledore do?

I read the books some time ago
And been a fan ever since
Although I'm just a muggle
And in this world I struggle
I still want to make a difference

CHORUS
In a world filled with social injustice
Acts of selfishness seem to be the rule
So sitting here I can't but wonderin'
What would Dumbledore do?

It's all overwhelming
There's trouble everywhere I see
I could turn an eye and be blind
But that just wouldn't be the kind
Of person that i chose to be

CHORUS
In a world filled with social injustice
people not caring what happens to you
I guess a good question for me to be asking is
What would Dumbledore do?

(instrumental)

CHORUS
In a world filled with social injustice
Greed and selfishness are on the loose
I'm sitting here and can't help but wondering
What would Dumbledore do?

It's hard in a world
When people need to choose to be
Embracing love and caring
Instead of just disparing
And let it all begin with me

CHORUS
A world filled with social injustice
Needs to have the balance skewed
Sitting here I can't but wonderin'
What would Dumbledore do?

CHORUS
If I could only pick one place to make a difference
Or let the world's injustice stew
I guess a good question for me to be asking is
What would Dumbledore do?

What would Dumbledore do?
What would Dumbledore do?

I guess a good question for me to be asking is
What would Dumbledore do?

Patrick this is incredible, you should record this.

I love the link "Let it all begin with me" it's so true. If we just start at home, it spreads amongst all of us.

You have such talent, thanks for sharing with us all.

I guess, Dumbledore would do the same that you are already doing! Never giving in to the injustice, depression, hate, despair, prejudice, misery, hopelessness and all the other bad things that rule our world. Reject, refuse, disobey, argue and act against it, well to make it short: resist against a world filled with hatred. It's a good start to speak out because "the flower of the word will not die", as one Mexican rebel has put it.
