I cross my heart,
knowing that I’m about to do something
dangerous.,
maybe even crazy
and I
know in my deepest self
that if I start to doubt,
or lose my confidence,
that I will fall again.
This time I cannot fail.
Everything is up to me.
Saving my reality,
as well as a few other
parallel universes,
is no small task.
Wait until the night falls
to seek out a certain star.
Second one
to the right
and hang on to
my happiest thought;
away
I
go.
It’s sad to lose a Lost Boy.
Some fear getting old,
for life
is different on this side.
Those who fear the clock
are really just afraid to die.
Keep the spark alive
and don’t lose faith
in the face of time.
So many come and go,
and many lose their way.
It seems we are
tricked into growing up
faster and faster these days.
I have only so long
to do what must be done.
All universes share the same
adversaries by different names.
I can’t fail, now.
The war is here,
it’s mine to fight.
I might even have
a few pirates on my side.
There is no time to waste.
Hold on to the thought
that got me this far,
I’m gonna need it
in the days to come.
