Neverland

[Intro: Ruth B] There was a time when I was alone Nowhere to go and no place to call home My only friend was the man in the moon And even sometimes he would go away, too Then one night, as I closed my eyes I saw a shadow flying high He came to me with the sweetest smile Told me he wanted to talk for a while He said, "Peter Pan, that's what they call me I promise that you'll never be lonely" And ever since that day [Chorus: Abstract & Ruth B] Peter Pan, that's what they call me (Call me) I promise that you'll never be lonely (Lonely) Peter Pan, that's what they call me (Call me) I promise that you'll never be lonely (Lonely) Peter Pan, that's what they call me (Call me) I promise that you'll never be lonely (Lonely) [Post-Chorus: Ruth B] And ever since that day [Verse 1: Abstract] In these fast times, chasing lifelines for a lifetime I've had my heart in the right place at the wrong time With the right girl in another world, maybe we would be together still If you hear this and resent that, I don't give a shit I'll let it spill I don't give a damn, I'll keep it real 'Cause by now I hope you know the drill I would never lie; young forever, I ain't ever gonna die Told me, "Grow up," but I went and showed 'em why I could make it, I showed 'em the power in youth, power in truth The younger you stay, the closer you are to your roots, that's the reason I do I can teach how to hit the skies Rise above 'em without getting high But if it help a bit, take a lil' hit Take a lil' sip, put your mind at ease Swear you got the keys, you can have your dreams That's up to you, not what others believe, jeez I swear that's the part that took longest for me 'Cause when I drop into a beat I detach from the world, view it under my feet Orbit around with my dreams and there I perceive my reality and what it means Music is where I can breathe, a world in between What I am, what I was, what I will be It's the only place that I feel free, hope you feel me [Pre-Chorus: Ruth B] I am a lost boy from Neverland Usually hanging out with Peter Pan And when we're bored, we play in the woods Always on the run from Captain Hook "Run, run, lost boy," they say to me Away from all of reality, he said [Chorus: Ruth B] Peter Pan, that's what they call me I promise that you'll never be lonely Peter Pan, that's what they call me I promise that you'll never be lonely Peter Pan, that's what they call me I promise that you'll never be lonely [Post-Chorus: Ruth B] And ever since that day [Verse 2: Abstract] You ain't ever gotta be alone I found company inside a song Take it off your chest, throw it in a poem If they try to flex, show 'em where you going Hating on your past, kill 'em with your moment When you get the chance, drive it like you stole it She said, "I don't want to grow up I gotta go keep my passions alive Please say you've heard of a place I can fly Where nothing's impossible, that's where I gotta go" They said the only way up was to get in line I'm telling you that somebody lied As someone who's been to the other side Blurring the lines between earth and mind She's a lost girl in a lost world, but I know what she tryna find Some call it music; I call it Neverland Where we can take flight and don't have to ever land You can stay young forever if you follow your heart Know a nine-to-five tear the soul apart Keep it safe, you can keep your soul in art We can't live a lie, we would rather die If I don't live for this, I am not alive I don't deserve the breath, I don't deserve the steps Don't deserve the criticism or compliments This is who I am, this is what I do Outside of Neverland, I don't have a clue They call us lost, but this is the place where I was found Take my hand, Wendy, we're home now [Pre-Chorus: Ruth B] I am a lost boy from Neverland Usually hanging out with Peter Pan And when we're bored, we play in the woods Always on the run from Captain Hook "Run, run, lost boy," they say to me Away from all of reality [Chorus: Abstract & Ruth B] Peter Pan, that's what they call me (Call me) I promise that you'll never be lonely (Lonely) Peter Pan, that's what they call me (Call me) I promise that you'll never be lonely (Lonely) Peter Pan, that's what they call me (Call me) I promise that you'll never be lonely (Lonely) [Post-Chorus: Ruth B] And ever since that day [Outro: Ruth B] Neverland is home to lost boys like me And lost boys like me are free Neverland is home to lost boys like me And lost boys like me are free (Free, free, free)
