Peter Pan: Who Am I?

Funny, the thoughts I have at night;

So different from the thoughts I have by day!

The moment Mama switches off the light,

A thousand different questions come my way

And stay:

Who am I?

Was it all planned in advance?

Or was I just born by chance

In July?

Oh, who on earth am I?

Did I ever live before

As a mountain lion

Or as a fly?

My friends only think of fun;

They’re all such incurable tots!

Can I be the only one

Who thinks these mysterious thoughts?

Some day I’ll die;

Will I ever live again

As a rooster or a hen,

Or a lion in a den,

Or a robin, or a wren,

Or a fly?

Oh, who am I?
