Neverland

By Heather Alexander (Wanderlust)

Kestrel's House of Poetry and Song brings you a kid safe song. It may not be period but I imagine that many kids would enjoy it.


Once we all were children, and so it was we found
But then you all grew up and as adults you went away
And I was left alone here just as it used to be
No one but the Lost Boys, Tinkerbell, and me

So I flew around the moon three times and caught a falling star
And came unto this world of ours to live just as you are
And while I vowed to stay here, the one thing that held true
That you did not believe in me so I won't believe in you

Chorus:
Never again, to do as all adults have done
Never again, for my world and your own real one
Never again, we'll you hear when the child within me cries
Never again, never is where my heart now lies
Neverland, never is where my heart now lies

Neverland's well protected, against all time and age
Of screams of rejected, harried in a cage
Your minds are all berated, your spirits all in a can
Here I'm not tall or rated and my freedoms not a mans

Chourus:

I returned to Neverland to play my favorite games
Forgotten is the pain I've felt, I don't remember names
There's Indians and Mermaids, far better than a book
And if my interest in them fades well there's always Captain Hook

Chorus:
Repeat last two lines twice
