Hello everyone , I’m @diduoflagos and this is my entry for
Vibes Web 3 competition week 10
I’m thrilled to share with you a piece of my soul through song. I’ve recorded a cover of Ruth B’s hauntingly beautiful track, “Lost Boy.” This song has always spoken to me on a deep level, and I felt compelled to share my own interpretation with you all.
“Lost Boy” is more than just a melody; it’s a narrative that weaves together themes of escape, discovery, and the longing for a place to belong. It’s about finding solace in the imaginary, where dreams can take flight on the wings of freedom. 🕊️
In my rendition, I’ve tried to capture the essence of the song’s storytelling, the wistful yearning for Neverland, and the bittersweet embrace of being a ‘lost boy’—or girl—in a world that sometimes feels too large and overwhelming.
So, dim the lights, press play, and let’s get lost together in the world of Neverland, where we are all free to dream and be whoever we want to be.
SONG LYRICS
There was a time when I was alone
Nowhere to go and no place to call home
My only friend was the man in the Moon
And even, sometimes, he would go away, too
Then one night, as I closed my eyes
I saw a shadow flying high
He came to me with the sweetest smile
Told me he wanted to talk for a while
He said, "Peter Pan, that's what they call me
I promise that you'll never be lonely"
And ever since that day
I am a Lost Boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored, we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, Lost Boy", they say to me
"Away from all of reality"
Neverland is home to Lost Boys like me
And Lost Boys like me are free
Neverland is home to Lost Boys like me
And Lost Boys like me are free
He sprinkled me in pixie dust and told me to believe
Believe in him and believe in me
Together, we will fly away in a cloud of green
To your beautiful destiny
As we soared above the town that never loved me
I realized I finally had a family
Soon enough, we reached Neverland
Peacefully, my feet hit the sand
And ever since that day
I am a Lost Boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored, we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, Lost Boy", they say to me
"Away from all of reality"
Neverland is home to Lost Boys like me
And Lost Boys like me are free
Neverland is home to Lost Boys like me
And Lost Boys like me are free
Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Wendy Darling
Even Captain Hook, you are my perfect storybook
Neverland, I love you so
You are now my home sweet home
Forever a Lost Boy at last
Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Wendy Darling
Even Captain Hook, you are my perfect storybook
Neverland, I love you so
You are now my home sweet home
Forever a Lost Boy at last
And for always, I will say
I am a Lost Boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored, we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, Lost Boy", they say to me
"Away from all of reality"
Neverland is home to Lost Boys like me
And Lost Boys like me are free
Neverland is home to Lost Boys like me
And Lost Boys like me are free
