Operation Peter Pan spanned from 1960-62 where by over 14,000 children were sent away from their families in Cuba, some never to reunite again. PanAm flights took the children to Miami FL 'Never-Never Land' and the children became known as 'The Peter Pans.' I wrote this song for my daughter, and it is sung for all the daughters and mothers, fathers and brothers who felt this pain of separation all because of governments and their politics. -Tori Amos
