Lyrics
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-
And 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 is 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 freedom's not allowed!
(Chorus)
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!
(Chorus)
