Not long ago, I was out taking a stroll under an evening sky,
when something more than just the twinkling of the stars began to reach my eyes.
I started remembering a "Once upon a time...", forgotten long ago,
back in the years before age 5; before I changed my state of mind.

Then, like the wind, something stirred once again,
bringing new life to me.
At first, I thought of fighting,
(not the kind to give myself to fantasy.)
But, it was very long since I had felt that Song,
seen that tone, or heard that melody.
So, I resolved not to ditch or hide and let the music deep inside.
I'd made my choice, the Song took voice.
Soon, I heard my heart cry,

Chorus:
Starlight, take me back to Neverland.
Tonight, fly me to the island.
Oh, Love, help me become a child again.
Let's go, riding on the back of the wind.

Then, from afar, there appreared a shooting star
heading straight toward me.
Before my eyes, there materialized a child who said,
"Come, play with me!"
Then, old man reason tried in vain to make me doubt what children's can see;
     that eternal youth lives within our hearts,
     when we don't depart to be women or men.
So, I told my mind to just be quiet.
and I heard my heart singin'

Starlight, take me back to Neverland.
Tonight, fly me to the island.
Oh, Love, help me become a child again.
Let's go, riding on the back of the wind.

I heard her say,
"I'll take you away to the place where your spirit runs free."
I took her hand. Now, I understand that
the girl from the stars is the child in my heart!

Starlight, take me back to Neverland.
Tonight, fly me to the island.
Oh, Love, help me become a child again.
Let's go, riding on the back of the wind.
