When I was young.
I was Peter Pan.
I didn't want to grow up.
I wouldn't be a man.
I would fight James Hook.
And Play with Lost Boys.
Get kisses from my Wendy.
Life was mine to enjoy.
But all that has changed.
I am now old.
My past just a story.
Forever to be told.
I can't flay and I can't fight.
I can't even crow.
I do the daily hustle.
A slave to the grind.
I haven't had any fun.
in such a long time.
I am the thing I hated.
When I was just a boy.
Not a smile on my face.
Not a single joy.
I am a man.
Lost in his defeat.
If only from off the ground.
I could get my feet.
If I could just.
Think that Happy thought.
If I could go back
To Never Never Land.
I would give back.
Everything I bought.
If I could be young again.
If I could play with Tink.
To a time that was simple.
And there wasn't much to thing.
But that is just a dream.
I am not a man.
Cause inside my heart.
I am still Peter Pan.
I just wrote this for a friend of mine, who is in a bit of a rough spot..But this is how I feel...I hope you read this..I'm sure you'll know it's for you.
I can see your tear drops.
As they hit the floor.
With each bit of pain.
I want to hold you more.
I want to stroke your hair
Tell you it will be all right.
Light a fire for you.
On those cold and lonely nights.
Sit right beside you.
Make you crack a smile.
Even only if.
It's just for a little while.
I want to make you feel wanted.
Be happy and exist.
I want to help you through the pain.
Through every little bit.
You are so important.
More than you'll ever know.
I've been there when you were up.
I'll be here while you're low.
If I could make you happy.
Take your pain away.
I'd do it in a heart beat.
I'd do it all today.
I would catch your tears.
Even wipe them from your face.
I'd get deep inside your mind.
Take you to a better place.
I want to make you better.
I want to make you whole.
I want to show you things.
Like you have never know.
If I put out my hand.
Would you put your hand in mine.
Let me draw you near.
Make you feel just fine.
You are a true beauty.
A precious work of art.
I am here to help you.
Mend your broken heart.
I sat down and wrote a bit.
These words of fire that I spit.
A forgotten man.
With a long dark past.
Living life a bit to fast.
A forgotten man.
Who sometimes dies.
With a soul as dark as my eyes.
With a confusion spread about.
Full of hope, with so much doubt.
Lost in love and pain and hate.
Wanting things, but not to wait.
Inside I hurt, inside I hurt.
Wondering what I'm worth.
Sometimes lost with no where to go.
Putting on one big show.
With my smile oh so fake.
To hide my ugly face.
Behind the make, behind the mask.
Into darkness, I can not pass.
A forgotten man.
Who don't know why.
He ever shed a tear or cried.
A forgotten man.
Deep inside.
This is me I have to hide.
