Where did our childhood dreams all disappear?
Nights we flew, chasing stars so near
Carefree laughter and eyes shining bright
When did we lose that innocent light?
Imagination buried beneath the grind
Crushed by burdens, tethered and confined
Chasing numbers through these crowded streets
Our childlike hearts have lost their beats
There's no Peter Pan, but I can see
The sadness in adults who've lost their glee
Age is just a number; it's the heart that counts
Let's set off today to find our dreams unbound
The face reflected feels so strange
Ignoring the true self behind the mask we arrange
Actors on society's demanding stage
Yet inside, echoes fill an empty cage
The colors of crayons we once held tight
Now hidden away in the city's gray light
If only we could see through a child's eyes
Our paths would change beneath these skies
There's no Peter Pan, but I can see
The sadness in adults who've lost their glee
Age is just a number; it's the heart that counts
Let's set off today to find our dreams unbound
Though time moves forward, ever on
Our hearts can journey back to where they've gone
Open up the doors you've closed inside
The innocence remains; it hasn't died
Sitting at our desks, tapping away
Forgetting what's important day by day
What are we running toward in such haste?
Pause a moment, breathe deep, no time to waste
Listen to the children's laughter ring
In their joy, life's truths softly sing
Growing older doesn't mean we grow old
If we keep that childlike wonder to hold
There's no Peter Pan, but I can see
The sadness in adults who've lost their glee
Age is just a number; it's the heart that counts
Let's set off today to find our dreams unbound
From today, let's dare to dream anew
Add color back to life's faded hue
We may not be Peter Pan, but we can fly
With wings of innocence, we'll touch the sky
