I still believe in Neverland,
home of children's dreams.
I still believe in happy thoughts,
add some dust, take off.
I still believe in the Lost Boys,
dangling from the trees.
I still believe in Captain Hook,
eyes blue as forget-me-nots.
I still always believe in fairies,
I do! I do! I do!
I still believe in Tiger Lily,
savage princess on the warpath.
I still believe in the Darlings,
they never left for good.
I still believe in Smee,
Johnny Corkscrew never far behind.
I still believe in mermaids,
they'll sweetly drown you if you get too close.
I still believe Time chases us,
lurking, tick-tock, tick.
I still believe I remember my mother,
to sew pockets and tell stories.
I still believe in kisses,
acorns, thimbles, lips.
I still believe in Peter Pan,
because we all have to grow up,
except one.
