Ode To Neverland
On the second star to the right
there is such a sight
of faeries and stars in the sky
You’ll never grow old
and you’ll find pirate’s gold
with Peter right there by your side
You’ll storm through the night
and put up a fight
with a man who has a hook for a hand
But many tears will I cry
for I will never pass by
to enter this magical land
Age I must face
and life’s sour taste
to take it with good and the bad
Wrinkles through time
and love that is mine
a carousel spinning round
But now that you’re here
which way will I steer
a choice must be made
my decision unclear
Because you say runaway
to hide on mermaids bay
and stay in this dream come true
On this star to the right
oh what a sight
me with the faeries and stars
To find pirate’s gold
and to never grow old
with you Peter Pan
Finally I have choice
finally a clear voice
a chance to enter my dreams
But now time is fleeing
and for the time being
I have to decline Neverland
Unsure of what's next
I cautiously take steps
towards the high horses spinning round
On the carousel I'll go
despite all the woe
I'm sure that is bound to come now
But Full of happiness
and life without mess
on Neverland it would be
But I cannot accept
despite the tears I have wept
in hopes of having this choice
in hopes of getting to say yes
Too much has passed
and the world is too vast
and too many ends to tie
Because of this I will never see the sand
of my dream crowned land
the place I'd always wished to be
but please understand
this never was planned
for the future can never be seen
Life doesn't stand still
against my free will
I've grown and now I'm too old now to come
Time doesn't stand still
but I still wish for the thrill
of flying next the stars
But you've come and gone
along with the dawn
and I've now grown up alone
The stopwatch still spinning
but never a new beginning
just stretching the fabric thin
Even though life is bland
I never will stand
on my childhood dream of Neverland
The clock has spun
my time almost done
and I still often wonder what if
I'm often sad
and often mad
at myself for having refused
a lifetime of happiness
a lifetime of dreams come true
In my mind I'm young
but my clothes have been hung
and the wrinkles have clearly spread
While everyday I still play
my body is gray
and I now know that I should have flown
On the second star to the right
there is such as sight
of faeries and stars in the sky
You'll never grow old
And you'll find pirate's gold
With Peter right there by your side
You invited me there
to the magical stairs
that would lead me to my Neverland
But I replied no
now I'll never go
to the land where dreams come true
Instead I'll grow old
with no pirates gold
and I now know that I should've flown
