Seize the day.... cause tomorrow you might be dead


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
