Finding Neverland

Everyone needs to find their Neverland, whether that be a coffee shop, their backyard, or under a bed. Being a child is a precious gift too often ripped from us far too early.

Finding Neverland

 

He pays the tab

On his minimum wage check

He smiles wide

So no one knows he’s such a wreck

He tries to hide

The cuts and blood and bruises on his neck

 

The only thing he ever wanted

Was to be a kid and laugh a lot

And the only thing he ever wanted

Was the only thing he never got

 

*Let him find Neverland

Even if it’s only for one day

Might not be foreverland

But just a one-time stay

Could make him remember and

Maybe keep him living for today

 

She’ll watch the kids

Her mom was out late again

She’s such a mess

But then, she always could pretend

That she was less

Sad and scared and angry at the world

 

The only thing she ever wanted

Was to be a kid and laugh a lot

And the only thing she ever wanted

Was the only thing she never got

 

*Let her find Neverland

Even if it’s only for one day

Might not be foreverland

But just a one-time stay

Could make her remember and

Maybe keep her living for today

 

We all ignore

The child that lives inside of us

We just can’t face

That the magic passed right by us

Without a trace

The love and warmth and freedom now is gone

 

The only thing we ever wanted

Was to be a kid and laugh a lot

And the only thing we ever wanted

Was the only thing we never got

 

*Let us find Neverland

Even if it’s only for one day

It won’t be foreverland

But just a one-time stay

Will make us remember and

Maybe keep us living for today…

Living for today…
