about

When I was 12 years old my mother took my sister and me to see Mary Martin starring in the musical, "Peter Pan." Read between the lines...

lyrics

In Search of Pan

Flying on a whisper
to a “never-never land,”
in search of possibilities,
in a search to understand
the wisdom of the ages,
the promises of time,
I set my course into the wind
so the answers I might find.

I fly amid the clouds and stars
through a vast expanse of space.
Without the pull of Mother Earth,
I soar with ease and grace,
led only by a sparkling light
and a voice that beckons, "Come
and see the place where love is born,
a place you can call home.
And deep within the forest
is the presence of the Child,
a spirit clothed with innocence,
a spirit free and wild.
The essence of the love
that was born so long ago –
the answer to the question,
and in your heart you’ll know.”

The beauty of the forest
in this not-so-never land
now sings to the wonder
as to how it all was planned.
As the morning mist rises
to meet the waking sun,
the forest creatures greet the day,
each with their own new song.
And the Child of your searching
now stands in front of you
as you see your reflection
in the clear crystal pool.
Her heart knows with certainty,
she now understands
the message and the mystery
of the child known as “Pan.”

So find that “place where dreams are born,
where time is never planned.”
It’s right inside, a breath away –
it’s here in your hand!
Now at long last your search is through,
it ends where it began.
So live the dream that fills your heart
in love’s forever land.

And look within the forest
for the presence of the Child –
a spirit clothed with innocence,
a spirit free and wild –
the essence of the love
that was born so long ago,
the answer to the question,
and in your heart you’ll know
that in the question is the answer,
and in your heart you’ll know.

The quote in the phrase "So find that 'place where dreams are born, where time is never planned'” is from the song, "Never Never Land," in the musical, "Peter Pan," based on J. M. Barrie’s 1904 play. The music for the song was written by Jule Styne, lyrics were written by Betty Comden and Adolph Green. Numerous attempts at requesting permission to use it have gone unanswered, but I wish to give credit here.
