Once we all were children, and so it was we played 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 felt was pain here, and one thing that held true If you did not believe in me, then I won't believe in you Never again, to do as all adults have done Never again, for my world and your own as 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 overrated, your spirits all in are cowed Here I'm not tolerated and my freedom's not allowed I returned to Neverland to play my favorite 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 Never again, to do as all adults have done Never again, for my world and your own as 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 Never again, never is where my heart now lies Neverland, never is where my heart now lies
