"Come away" The ever-young boy says, "To a world of fantasy, Of glittering rainbows And a smiling sun. Where flowers are in constant bloom And night is filled with starlight.
Where there are lagoons filled With ever-playful mermaids, Where there are pirates By the shores And also Indians Dancing around bonfires.
Where children play the adults, Though still children they remain, Forever caught In an endless game of make-believe."
"Take me there" I tell the boy Who seems to be made of sunshine. "Teach me to ride the wind And away we'll go To that faraway, enchanted place, Second star to the right And straight on til morning. To the land Of forever spring Where age is timeless Youth eternal."
