THE REAL PETER PAN 
© 2011 by Ida Kristin

I’m sure that you’ve all heard about him, seen him at the movies
But there’s no way that you can know him quite as I know him
The little boy that won’t grow up
Passionate and fiery eyed

The real Peter Pan has rays around his eyes from laughter
And when he sets them off, I believe in ever after
He’s as shifting as the sea, running high or smooth and deep
He cries sometimes because he cares
The real Peter Pan has silver hair

Chorus
And his wings are strong enough to hold him
As the wind takes him on its shoulders
When asked how he can navigate
He says, his lucky star lights the way

The real Peter Pan is brave enough to love completely
And he is from an island far away of raging beauty
As he offers me his hand
To take me to his Neverland
I squeeze it tight and say my prayers
But I’m not scared

Chorus 
Cause our wings are strong enough to hold us
As the wind takes us on its shoulders
The sky is blushing as am I
When we fly way too high

Bridge
Sure, it’s a bumpy ride sometimes,
Captain Hook must be defied
But hand in hand we will stand
Defending our Neverland

Chorus
And our wings are strong enough to hold us
As the wind takes us on its shoulders
The sky is blushing as am I
When the waves are running high
Though just a boy, he’s quite a man
With silver hair, my Peter Pan
