For Narnia and For Aslan (song)

[Note: Another entry from the archives here. I particularly wanted to post this parody song for some friends who enjoy science fiction and fantasy as well and I thought would appreciate this. :-)]

Here is a parody song I'd like to share that hopefully will be funny, encouraging, and maybe even edifying- and hopefully will ultimately point you to Jesus Christ and bring Him glory! :-) That’s what it’s all about.
       I did this first one here a while back right around when I first saw the last [thus far] movie in “The Chronicles of Narnia” series. True- there were some things that could have been closer to the book and I wish they were there. But “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” was an incredibly awesome movie and I am glad for the strong Christian messages that C.S. Lewis brought across so well in his books that are definitely evident in the movie. The main theme was dealing with the temptations that come in the Christian life and continuing to faithfully follow Christ throughout. And I loved the illustration of Eustace coming to salvation through Aslan ripping off his old self and having him discover his true self in Aslan. That was “painful- but a good sort of hurt, like taking a thorn out.” Okay- that wasn’t exactly verbatim- but I love that line. And Reepicheep was great! And I loved the song at the end- it was all so good. It just made me psyched to see the next book in the series come to the movies- which by the way, from what I’ve heard online, the plan is to do “The Magician’s Nephew” next! I still wish they would have done “The Silver Chair” first (which would have kept it in the published order)-but I’m not complaining. I’m just glad to see another Narnia movie coming! I’ve read and reread all the books and I love them! (I remember reading them as a kid and then rereading them a few years ago and they all pack such spiritual truth.) I love how C.S. Lewis helped kids fall in love with Aslan in his books, which was easy to do since he is clearly depicted as a Christ figure. Of course, Lewis says that Aslan is a supposal of what Christ would be like if He came as a lion in the world of Narnia just as He has come in actuality to ours. And we must learn to know Him by the name He’s known in our world- The Lord God and Savior – Jesus Christ! :-) So this song is rides along and races through all 7 books as my tribute to “The Chronicles of Narnia”. I can’t wait to go to the new Narnia and live with Aslan- The real Aslan- Lion of Judah- for all time!


For Narnia and For Aslan

(parody of “Bicycle Race” by Queen; copyright by Nathan Ludwick 12/22/2010)
(Matthew 13:34, Revelation 5:5, Revelation 21-22)

Narnia! Narnia! Narnia!
I want to fly to Narnia! Narnia! Narnia!
I want to ride to Narnia!
I want to meet The Lion!
I want to go to Narnia!
I’ve longed for Aslan all my life!

In the back- world of white
Apple bark wardrobe sight
Winter dark millennium
Jadis made herself queen
And it’s never Christmas
It’s foretold- girls and boys
Stone Table (and) Aslan dies
Like The Lord Jesus Christ
Witch didn’t know the deeper magic
Christ did rise as did Aslan
All has been made new in

Narnia! Narnia! Narnia!
I want to fly to Narnia! Narnia! Narnia!
I want to ride to Narnia!
I want to see The Lion!
I want to go to Narnia
I long for Aslan

Narnian wars- Telmarines enslave!
So 4 kids- it’s The Pevensies, oh yeah!
Fight back- I’m sure it’s Caspian (for the win) (Yay!)
Then look out for seven kings lost- yeah
On the Dawn Treader- Go!
Narnia- Hey! Narnia- Hey! Narnia- Hey!
Narnia! Narnia! Narnia! I want to go to Narnia!
Narnia! Narnia! Narnia! Narnia!
Narnia- Hey!

Yeah, Jill Pole and he came
Eustace Scrubb- witch is slain
Puddleglum helps save Prince Rilian
Shasta’s gonna meet Peter, Edmund, Susan and Lucy
Cor’s a child of The King
Digory and Polly- thieves
In comes Aslan like Jesus
All at the end if they come in the gate
Term is done- it’s holidays!
And all’s forever new in

Narnia! Narnia! Narnia!
I want to fly to Narnia! Narnia! Narnia!
I want to go to Narnia!
I’m going to see The Lion!
I’m going to live in Narnia!
I’ll live with Aslan for all time!
