Peter Pan’s Gilded Cage

Peter is the ageless King of Neverland. with the ability to stay ageless thanks to his companion, Tinker Bell, and her pixie dust. He doesn't realize what he has started, because he was Tinkerbell's best friend, and he believes he is doing the right thing by giving them pixie dust and making them remain as children forever. By the end of the song, he asks Tinkerbell, "What have we done? Are we, the lost boys, really free?" Poor peter, just wanted to protect them. but helped tinker bell, but was genuinely asking the right questions, sadly it was all too late... Go check out Tinker Bell's and Wendy's songs! I love to hear feedback!! on your theories!! about my real villain, sad, or forced villain songs!~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lyrics: ~~~~~~~~~ The sun sets slowly on a borrowed sea Where the waves don't age, and the wind stays free I am the king of the second star A mender of bones on a hook's cruel scar I gather the broken, the lonely, the bruised The ones that the waking world refused I give them a home where the clocks are slain And they never need to bear the weight of the rain. Oh, Tink, my spark, my truest friend On your glittering light, our world depends You spin the dust from a stolen sigh And teach the new stars how to fly... So we sail on the breeze, never touching the ground! This Neverland's crown that we wear! We are forever, unbroken, and bound. By the gold in the innocent air! (What have we done?) I've seen the grey creep in a mother's eye A forgotten lullaby, a weakening cry They call it "growing," they call it "grace." I see the light leave a child's face So I offer them flight, a most glorious trade Their futures are heavy, but my skies are made Of wonder and war with a crocodile's chime And we live in the sweet, never-ending dream. Oh, Tink, your lamp burns fierce and low A desperate, unforgiving glow You pour the world into your craft To keep our fragile rafters aloft... AND WE SAIL ON THE BREEZE, NEVER TOUCHING THE GROUND! THIS IS NEVERLAND'S CROWN THAT WE WEAR! WE ARE FOREVER, UNBROKEN, AND BOUND BY THE GOLD IN THE INNOCENT AIR! (What have we done?) But the new boys don't laugh… they just float in a dream Their eyes are like glass, reflecting the gleam Of a dust that you feverishly, tirelessly mill… Where once there was wonder, a void you now fill. Their first laugh is gone, but their bodies stay small… Tinker Bell… answer me… Is this freedom at all? WHAT HAVE WE DONE?! ARE WE, THE LOST BOYS, REALLY FREE?! OR DID WE NAIL THEIR FEET TO THE SEA?! IS THIS A KINGDOM OR A GILDED CAGE BUILT BY ME?! Tink… My light… What have we done… The stars are going out… one by one… What have we… Done... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Original Lyrics by Aurora Dust-Wulf AI-generated by the Suno AI app
