Dear Lost Boys
Hello children,
My name is Peter, Peter Pan
And I am here to introduce you to the magical world known as Neverland
Where children step foot into paradise
And never grow up.
See, boys hear me out!
You’ll never have any responsibilities
There are no bedtime curfews in our land
We will go on new adventures, both day and night
Where dreams run wild and nothing can hold you down
I’ll show you the secret wonders of this hidden land
Walk you through Cannibal Cove to befriend the parrots, monkeys, and bears
Open the doors to Black Castle, where you can learn to fly dragons and train gargoyles
Devour the sweets at Pixy Hollows, the fairies cook just for you
You’ll make friends with fairies, elves, mermaids and more
But we have one rule here in Neverland
Once you grow up, you can never come back. Never!
Hush boys, quiet down
Let me whisper a quiet secret
Many of the kids start swimming out to the real world
Some kids grow noses when they try to hide secrets
Our boys grow bigger and taller
Neverland can get overpopulated
Being a lost boy is exclusive
Sometimes we must make ends meet
Grab me the blade, we’ll thin out the boys who are too tall out to fit into the holes of the tree.
It might sound dangerous, but trust me
I am only doing what I can to help them
Maybe my tactic isn’t the best way
But I am only a child! I can’t learn from my mistakes
And it's not fair!
Nothing good comes from becoming an adult
You'll gain endless responsibilities and will never have time for fun
The amazing friends you make here will disappear
And your days will be filled with the dread of taxes, parenting, and work
Trust me I’ve seen a glimpse
Only through my protection will you be happy
So take my hand my lovely child
Lets jump out of your room
Don't worry about your parents
Don't worry about falling
With me, you’ll only fly
And as you sing and dance around the campfire
Listen to the story of the lost boys
Press your lips onto the pipes and hum our unspoken melodies
Cozy yourself into the bed
Smile and dream big in your sleep
Because once you step into foot onto Neverland
There is no going back.
Welcome home, Boys.
