When I was young I’m sure that I scared my mom
I’m sure she was wondering what kind of woman I would be
Now it’s been years; I’ve put away childhood fears
But still I miss those days when I was a lost boy on parade

‘Cause I was Peter Pan
And I’d fly away to some exotic land
And I would see the world
Not some ordinary girl

Must I be the little girl, pretty in pink
Just waiting for some dashing young man to sweep me off my feet?
I’d prefer to be the girl that I remember
With action figure toys, playing with the boys

‘Cause I was Peter Pan
And I’d fly away to some exotic land
And I would see the world
Not some ordinary girl

‘Cause I’m still Peter Pan
And I’ll fly away without holding anyone’s hand
And I could change the world
Just an ordinary girl
