Take Me to the Neverland

Someday just around the corner
I will no longer be a child
My innocent, heartless mind replaced
By something docile, something mild.
I will be a grown-up person
I will be big, I will be tall
But though you may think I'd be happy
I don't look forward to it at all.
Peter Pan, take me away,
To the everlasting shore
Of the eternal, ageless island
To be a child forevermore.
Peter Pan, come to my window
Take my hand, fly me away
That I may never be a grown-up
That a child I may stay.
Fly me to the Neverland
Where mermaids, with their sparkling scales,
Dance and frolic in the waters
Splashing fishes with their tails.
Where pirates lurk, malevolent,
Waiting for a chance to snare
Any careless, passing traveler
Who wanders too close to their lair.
Adventures around every corner,
Excitement around every bend,
Where the thrills never cease
And where the magic never ends.
Peter Pan, if you are real,
Save me from this world of men
To where I'll never have to worry
About grown-up things again.
