Who writes the fate of the failed superhero?
Forgotton in pages of comic book tales
When every street light reminds him of the one he left behind
Who could forsake him?

I saw him drinking his bottle of 'Empty Heart'
Tattered gloves and faded cloak
Failure always looked the part

His trail of stars extinguished by the English rain
Washed up straight down the drain

Feel the magic!
See the man!
He used to be our Peter Pan

He said I'd really love to soar
I'd really love to come and save you all
But I've forgotton how to fly
I've found a new kind of high

Who knows the fate of the failed superhero?
When every day is lived by the hand that dots the end
When every line on his face is an estuary of faith
To the one who believes in forever

Feel the magic!
Love the man!
He used to be our Peter Pan

He said the old man you can see
Who left it all behind
Used to know a magic trick
That made you feel surprised

Used to try to tell you
Getting old was just a lie
Used to make you realise
It is now and we're alive

So go on without fear and try to live your life
For we are once..upon a time
Yes I was once..upon a time

Once upon a time..
