Never Neverland (Fly Away)

One of Scott Alan's most popular ballads, this beautifully written song from Dreaming Wide Awake evokes the feeling of nostalgia as it describes childhood memories of fantasy, make-believe, and innocence. It begins and ends with a soprano soloist.

She'd tell me 'bout Captain Hook and all of his men 
Who followed Peter with with a hook replaced as his hand
In those tales, bad guys seldom did win
So the Captain was eaten and Wendy had twins

Well that's the story as I recall
But I may have made up the end
Don't remember much at three feet tall
Except for when I'd say,

"Mom, let me go to Never Neverland
Let me fly for one day
And throw that fairy dust in my hair
So I'll pretend I'm flying away"
I'm flying away

Well to my surprise, I grew up too fast,
And that easy life of Tinkerbell never did last
So I silently dream myself far, far away
That I would be immortalized like Peter one day

And that's my childhood as I recall
Though in some ways it never did end
And now I'm standing, well, a little bit taller
Except for when I say,

"Mom, let me go to Never Neverland
Let me fly for one day
And throw that fairy dust in my hair
So I'll pretend I'm flying away"
I'm flying away

And though life is never easy as we as children read in the books
Where fairy dust could just fly you so far away
All I ask is that you leave me my imagination 
So I can pretend I'm flying away
I'm flying away 

And that is where I stay 
Right there in Never Neverland
I'd be flying, I'd be dying
For love and appreciation
Where mermaids would sing
And fairies would ring
Right down there in Never Neverland

And it's second to the left and straight on 'til morning
Or was it second to the right and straight on 'til morning?
In Never Neverland
In my Never Neverland
