Alice

Little elves they share the secret
with pixies scatter magic dust
all amongst the mushrooms feasting
dreaming always, for dream we must

So tells the caterpillar
through magic rings of smoke
these the clouds that hold our minds
and so to her I am thrust

And she grows taller, smaller then
and always a baby in the palm of my head
and she knows change, and she knows time
oh Alice wonder with those eyes so wild

Oh now Alice play my dear
and always ever after
as you dance away child to the great beyond
may you always go with laughter

And laugh some more love, through your soul
you make this magic last,
and you can do, oh you can do
you hold the key to every door

It's in your heart, your soul, your mind
it is everything and more
So grows the caterpillar to a butterfly to the sky
oh you child, spread your wings my dear
and always fly so high

All of our treasures somehow change
right there before our eyes
for this the way the spider spins
the web that is our time

So always feel that wonder
let it open up your eyes
you wake up child, and live your dreams
never weary, never tired
and never ever be afraid
know and trust, behold the stars
be always true and kind and just

Believe in magic, in Cupid's arrow
in pixie's fairy dust
Be guided by the songs of birds
and creatures of the dark
and the light of fireflies
and by lightning's wild spark

Believe the song your mother sings
to her most precious one
You sing your own child
shout it out to the sun above
and the world around
to run through every river,
and float on every cloud,
to crash in ocean's waves
and as the thunder rolling through
the storms upon our days

And Alice, always be aware
of the grinning cheshire cat
So befriend all those that cross your path
especially the black
Make a cradle for baby birds
fallen from their nest
Cover the earth with flowers
Weave yourself a little crown
Believe in daisy's lovesongs
so many to be found
Listen to the ocean's tale
and learn from it my dear
unturn a stone to say hello
to salamanders living there
Run barefoot child
through all the fields
and beaches of your life
May you buzz as a bee
the world for you
a garden of sweetest delights

And when the Queen demands to know
exactly who you are
Don't lose your head child
for this you know
and simply will reply

I am Alice
I am sunshine
I am waves in ocean wild
I am Alice
I am moonshine
I am the star you wish upon
I am Alice
I am a flower growing
strong into the sky
I am a smile, a kiss
the sparkle in an eye
I am Alice
I am your sweetest dreams
that come true in their time
I am Alice
I am eyes that wonder
I am the knowing heart
I am drops of rain
and wind that stirs
the soul of everything
I am the very song that your own heart
can not forget to sing
I am Alice
I am butterflies
an angel in disguise
I am your laughter
and your tears
I am hope and love
and peace and light
I am the break of morning
and the quiet of the night
I am that land of wonder,
golden ticket, giant peach
I am the ache inside you
and the chances that you take
I am the very magic of pixies
the secret of elves beneath setting sun
I am Alice
I am Alice
I am mama's precious one
