Peter Pan Here I am, waiting, Stuck in the middle of Neverland and nowhere, There she is, fainting, Bewildered by a world she never knew existed, Here we are, stranded, Two souls far from home, yet without longing, Ooh dear Wendy, your blue nightdress matches the sky, It calls to the stars, Sharing their identity, The lost boys can tell, They never again will meet a creature like you, Magic will keep them young forever, But with you, they discover why they need a mother, Why we all do, yet some don't, Have that luxury, Scarred by fate's bludgeoning, Found by love's cushioning, Broken by the cavalry, So I knew I had to give them this, A moment, a whisper, of seconds, a hint, Of what they lost and gained, Reminded of how adults behave, Having forgotten how to be a child, They lose their selfish, clueless minds, I know you won't stay, My star of motherly love, It's way past bedtime, You'll remember that ship, From when you were a boy, It's later than midnight, The stars are asleep, You mustn't forget, Tonight, in your dreams.
