Second Star to the Right ~ Jonatha Brooke
Secrets ~ One Republic
The second star to the right
Shines in the night for you
To tell you that the dreams you plan
Really can come true
That's what I had always believed. Especially when I was younger. I ate up the tale of Peter Pan and Neverland and pirates and lost boys. For hours upon hours I would dream away, soaring through the clouds, dancing with Indians, (cleaning up after all the boys). Sometimes I would bring some friends of mine along with me to my little island. They would join me in my fun games of what I later realized it was make-believe.
The second star to the right
Shines with a light that's rare
And if it's Neverland you need
Its light will lead you there
I'm 17 now; I'll turn 18 soon. It's been nearly 8 years since I've flown off to Neverland. I don't really remember what happened, why I stopped. It was probably because we moved again. We always moved around a lot. I never really forgot about Neverland. I still look up in the sky, trying to find it. But I've long since stopped trying to go.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
So I'll know where you are
Gleaming in the skies above
Take me to the land I dream of
I haven't even dreamt of Neverland in such a long time. I guess, growing up, you just start to disregard silly things like islands where you can never grow up. You start to lose that creative imagination you have when you're such a little child. That's probably why they always say 'never grow up'. You aren't very innocent anymore, when you're a teenager. If only I had listened.
And when our journey is through
Each time we say 'good night'
We'll thank the little star that shines
The second from the right
There is a reason I'm telling you all of this. Why I'm now telling you to never grow up. It really is terrible. This is my story, my secret. I'm telling you, warning you: don't grow up. Don't even start, because once you do, then nothing will ever be the same again.
Thanks for reading! Stick around, and review please!
