Verse 1 Sat me down in the big ol’ hall, with candles a floatin’ high, They dropped a hat upon my head, said, “Boy, now don’t you cry.” It whispered in my ear, with a voice so sly and low, Said, “I’ll tell ya where you’re goin’, and that’s where you're gonna go.” Chorus Got them Sorting Hat blues, don’t know where I belong, Will I find a place where my heart beats strong? It’s whisperin’ and hummin’, singin’ me the news, Yeah, I’m sittin’ in the spotlight with them Sorting Hat blues. Verse 2 It talked about my courage, it talked about my pride, It talked about temptation I could never hide. But when it spoke of choices, I knew just what to say, “Don’t you put me with the darkness, send me another way.” Verse 3 Now the tables all are cheerin’, the banners flyin’ high, I’m sittin’ with my people, and I ain’t gonna lie. It feels like home already, with the fire burnin’ true, But deep inside my memory, I hear that whisper too. Chorus Got them Sorting Hat blues, don’t know where I belong, Will I find a place where my heart beats strong? It’s whisperin’ and hummin’, singin’ me the news, Yeah, I’m sittin’ in the spotlight with them Sorting Hat blues. Verse 4 Every choice is a crossroad, every road’s a test, But I’ll keep on walkin’ with the ones who love me best. That ol’ hat gave me wisdom, and it gave me fear, The blues don’t last forever when the path is clear. Bridge Life is full of houses, and the walls are built on sand, But your choices make the music, and the song’s your stand. Final Chorus Chorus Got them Sorting Hat blues, I know where I belong, I found a place where my heart beats strong. It’s still whisperin’ and hummin’, singin’ me the news, Yeah, no longer in the spotlight with them Sorting Hat blues.
