Wendy's Wish

Second star to the right And straight on 'til morning: That's where you told me I could always find you, And together we would become Little lost boys and girls Not belonging to anyone but ourselves. Isn't that where you promised To keep me? That sacred place where dreams are born And time is never planned? "Think happy thoughts" Is all you said I had to do To escape this world and fly away with you. Oh, how I wish I could fly. But that crocodile had other plans And caught me in his sinking teeth. I was stolen by The treacherous ticks and tocks I have come to fear the most. You promised we would never grow old. So let's go back. Back to when kisses were thimbles, And when a tiger lily was more than just a flower. I'll just clap my hands And try so hard to believe That I will always be this young And you will sprinkle me with dust So you can take me back, Back to Neverland.
