Neverland

The moon is bright, the sky is black and soon I will return;
To a place where faith embraces me and the stars will surely burn.
A place I'm young forever and adventure is all around;
Where secrets hide and hidden truths are waiting to be found.
Where “Once Upon a Time” is the beginning and the end;
Where dreams are real, shadows speak and darkness is your friend.
I can’t describe, I can’t explain the eccentric atmosphere;
But once you see this unique world, you’ll lose all sense of fear.
Imagination is the key to all you see and do;
I see the light inside your eyes, forever shining blue.
There’s magic, danger, chances, hope and whispers in the air;
So come along, follow me, believe it if you dare.
But when you’re home, all alone, waiting and mourning;
Just remember “second star to the right and straight on till morning”.
