Neverland from Wanderlust by Alexander James Adams

NEVERLAND
Music & Lyrics: Heather Alexander

Once we all were children
And so it was we'd play
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 into this world of mimes
To live just as you are
But all I found was pain here
And one thing that held true
That you did not believe in me
So I won't believe in you!

NEVER AGAIN!
TO DO AS ALL ADULTS HAVE DONE!
NEVER AGAIN!
WILL MY WORLD AND YOUR OWN BE ONE!
NEVER AGAIN!
WILL 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
All schooling's been rejected
I'm not a parrot in a cage
Your minds are over-rated
Your spirits all are cowed
Here I'm not tolerated
And my freeedom's not allowed!

I've returned to Neverland
To play my favourite games
Forgotten is the pain at hand
And 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!
