In the 1953 Disney film Peter Pan, what song is sung while the children fly to Neverland?

“You Can Fly! You Can Fly! You Can Fly!” is sung while the children fly to Neverland in Disney’s 1953 Peter Pan.

The song accompanies Peter Pan’s lesson in flying and the children’s departure from London. Peter tells Wendy, John, and Michael that happy thoughts and pixie dust can help them take flight. The sequence then turns the nursery window and the night sky into a visual route toward Neverland.

The song was written by Sammy Fain, with lyrics by Sammy Cahn. It is one of the film’s most recognizable musical numbers and is often remembered simply as “You Can Fly.” The repeated full title, however, is the canonical song title commonly associated with the movie.

Viewers sometimes choose “Following the Leader,” another song from the same film. That number is performed later by the Lost Boys and the Darling children in Neverland. “The Second Star to the Right” is also connected with the journey, but it plays a different narrative role and does not accompany the central flight sequence.
