In morning mist, upon a shadowed path
I swore that “eternity” would be enough
A land where laughter never fades
I called that place “freedom” once
The winds of Neverland whispered soft
“No pain will touch you if you stay”
Yet somewhere deep inside my chest
Another heartbeat led astray
A spark of solitude
Lit up the silent sea
Someone unseen
Was pushing me forward
NEVER CHILD, spread your wings
Leave the hollow shadows behind
No joy in Neverland can teach
The taste of tears, the depth of light
NEVER CHILD, step beyond
The world is calling out your name
Only through sorrow will you find
A truer form of what it means to feel
A broken sword at twilight’s brink
No game of war could mend my heart
The empty space within my chest
Was one I never learned to share
Yet when I saw the city lights
A nameless warmth began to rise
Those who walk a road of “no return”
Their quiet strength shook my soul
Only the ones who dare
Can cross the unseen door
The wind, without a single word
Pointed straight to “tomorrow”
NEVER CHILD, take the step
Toward the place where dreams alone can’t go
No heartbeat born in Neverland
Can forge the pain that turns to hope
NEVER CHILD, can you hear
The ancient song of mortal skies
When you embrace the weight of loneliness
Your own true story comes alive
The eternal land is a gentle cage
A silent abyss beneath its joy
But eyes that choose to walk away
Burn brighter than the fearless boys
“To change is not betrayal”
Said the whisper of the wandering wind
The future, sleeping in Neverland’s shade
Awoke and spread its trembling wings
Rise now, NEVER CHILD
Chosen wanderer of the world
Stand firm upon the waking earth
Carry your sorrow as your flame
Beyond the veil of endless youth
True joy waits for your name
NEVER CHILD, now speak aloud
Let your voice reach every realm
Break the hours frozen still
Walk the path that calls to you
Go forth, NEVER CHILD
Where everything becomes real
What Neverland could never give
The weight of love, the aching truth
Eternal child, depart at last
This single step
Makes you one who truly lives
