Fly off to Neverland,
Where hearts grow old and dreams stay young.
Adventure into the spirit of childhood,
Dare to do what you wished you had before
Innocence was snatched away
With only a trace of the fairy dust of youth.
Lie down in the land where fairies dwell,
Greedily suckling at the bosom of time.
Forget not what you have learned,
But learn to forget the way you learned it.
Is it a discovery of something new,
Or a loss of something hidden within?
Fly away to Neverland, but never land
Where souls are hidden away and left to wither
In solitude
While the façade of happiness lingers
On a sting of gossamer spells
And fairies’ false enchantments.
