Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It was the night before when all through the world
No words, no dreams, then one day
A writer by a fire imagined all of Gaia
Took a journey into a child-man's heart
[Verse 2]
A painter on the shore imagined all the world
Within the snowflake on his palm
Unframed by poetry, a canvas of awe
Planet Earth falling back into the stars
[Verse 3]
I am the voice of Never-Never-Land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
I am the empty crib of Peter Pan
A silent kite against the blue, blue sky
Every chimney, every moonlit sight
I am the story that will read you real
Every memory that you hold dear
[Verse 4]
I am the journey, I am the destination
I am the home, the tale that reads you
A way to taste the night, the elusive high
Follow the madness, Alice, you know, once did
Imaginarium, a dream emporium
Caress the tales and they will dream you real
A storyteller's game, lips that intoxicate
The core of all life is a limitless chest of tales
[Verse 5]
I am the voice of Never-Never-Land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
I am the empty crib of Peter Pan
A silent kite against the blue, blue sky
Every chimney, every moonlit sight
I am the story that will read you real
Every memory that you hold dear
[Verse 6]
I am the voice of Never-Never-Land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
Searchin' heavens for another Earth
[Verse 7]
I am the voice of Never-Never-Land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
I am the empty crib of Peter Pan
A silent kite against the blue, blue sky
Every chimney, every moonlit sight
I am the story that will read you real
Every memory that you hold dear
[Verse 8]
I am the voice of Never-Never-Land
The innocence, the dreams of every man
I am the empty crib of Peter Pan
A silent kite against the blue, blue sky
Every chimney, every moonlit sight
I am the story that will read you real
Every memory that you hold dear
