"Jimmy's Song" Lyrics

Jimmy tries to kick his football
Over the fence his father built for him
Before he moved away
So that he could see if
Peter sitting by his tree
And if he would like to come and play

Jimmy kicks the ball over the fence
And hears the voice of Peter say;
Why did you kick the ball?
Jimmy answers;
So that I can be a football star when I grow up
And Peter stands up tall
And tells him

Jimmy,
If you ever drown inside
the madness in your brain
I will try to keep you normal,
try to keep you sane
But please remain
As young as you are today

Jimmy says: You're wrong,
If you grow up then you can be a football star
And stay up all night
You can go to work
And always eat the things you want
And drive a car
As much as you like

And Peter tells him:
If you ever drown inside
the madness in your brain
I will try to keep you normal,
try to keep you sane
But please remain
As young as you are today

If you grow up
there's no return to neverland
And when you're old and wise
it's then you understand
that you can be a football star
or superman
Forever in neverland

But if you ever drown inside
the madness in your brain
I will try to keep you normal,
try to keep you sane
But please remain
As young as you are today

If you ever drown inside
the madness in your brain
I will try to keep you normal,
try to keep you sane

Yeah if you ever drown inside
the madness in your brain
I will try to keep you normal,
try to keep you sane
But please remain
As young as you are today
As young as you are today
