Champion
Marked As His Equal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Part of the Triwizard Three
Why my name was even there
This is more than I can bear
Ron won't look me in the eyes
He thinks that I've been telling lies
And he's not the only one
I don't want this responsibility
I think that it's too much for me
But this contract makes it so I can't be free
Now I know one of these tasks
But I don't think I'll even last
No matter everything I did
I am simply just a kid
I don't want this responsibility
I think that it's too much for me
But this contract makes it so I can't be free
But I see it now
I think that I see how
I can be their champion
I will say it loud
And make my family proud
Let the tournament begin
I will take this responsibility
I know it's not too much for me
I will do my best and that will set me free

They do not feel capable of handling the immense weight of responsibility that has been placed on them, and they fear that they will be unable to succeed.
Throughout the song, the singer's attitude shifts from one of fear and uncertainty to one of determination and resolve.

By the end of the song, the singer is ready to take on the role of champion and do their best to make themselves and their family proud.
