[Verse 1] Second star to the right, follow it through the dark Every child dreams of flying, chasing after the spark But somewhere past the window, past the nursery light There's a boy who never wanted to grow into the fight [Chorus] Never ever land, never ever grow Never ever face the things you're bound to know But I don't want to stay a shadow on the wall I want the kind of love that answers when I call Take me home-not to Neverland Take me home, into Your hand [Verse 2] Wendy kept the memory of home and carried it like gold While Peter kept forgetting every promise that he told Love was never built on running from the years It's built on staying faithful through the seasons and the fears [Chorus] Never ever land, never ever grow Never ever face the things you're bound to know But I don't want to stay a shadow on the wall I want the kind of love that answers when I call Take me home-not to Neverland Take me home, into Your hand [Bridge] Hook was scared of ticking clocks, running from the tide But time was never made to be the thing we have to hide Death is not the crocodile that swallows us for good Christ passed through death and rose, as only He could [Verse 3] Every year that passes isn't something lost or spent It's a gift still being given, every hour heaven-sent Growing up was never meant to steal the wonder away It was always meant to lead me to a never-ending day [Final Chorus] So it's never ever land, it's never ever bound It's the ever-after love where I'll be found Not a fairy-dust forever, not a boy who wouldn't grow It's the grace of Christ the Shepherd, leading safely home Take me home-past Neverland Take me home, into Your hand [Outro] Take me home… take me home… Past the stars, past the second star to the right Not a never-never land-an ever, ever light Take me home, Father, safely home I don't need Neverland-I need the Promised Land [© 2026 By Matthew E. Treviño]
