Never Say Neverland


Three darling children

Fast asleep in their beds

Little did they know

That their innocence

Will soon be dead.

 

For tonight creeps

The shadow of a boy

Through their window breaks

He pulls off the blankets

That covers their face

 

Surprised their

False savior arrived

Promising adventure

To live life of outlaws

Murdering pirates

Dumping them

In crocodile jaws

 

Hunting with savages

Wild as can be

Skinning animals

Rallying scoundrels

In hangman’s tree

 

Sealing the deal

They will never be alone

They agreed to go with him

And were taken away

Far away from their home

 

Poor Wendy was the first to go

Her blue eyes couldn't look away

From his charm and wit

Even though something

Was telling her to stay

 

Her sensual side gave in

The moment

She wanted to lean in

Tinkerbell warned her once

And mermaids a second time again

True, they were trying to drown her

Only because she'd be better off dead.

 

Oh, Wendy. How you've been tricked

How you've been seduced

She didn't know then

But she is to learn

Being picked as a mother

It was her turn
