ALICE:
Leave the talkers talking
The hum is what we want
Song beyond thought

ALICE & CHESHIRE PUSS:
Let the worry fade
No more "hurry, hurry"
The summer is purring

ALL:
We're going higher, 'cause

ALICE:
We can rise beyond what's gone
Through a world they got so wrong
'Til we know the sky beyond
The key is
The key within you

Sun rises meek
The sea and the shore
The sigh of the wind and the dim blue stars

ALICE & CHESHIRE PUSS:
One turn of the key
The garden door
Flowers and leaves chanting who we are

ALL:
And we're climbing, 'cause

ALICE:
I won't let them move you on
Play you like some ghostly pawn
Oh, we'll hold the still blue dawn
The key is
To be within you

Slow, slow time
Tumble into my heart
The sky so wide
Always light, always dark

WHITE RABBIT:
But, but, but

ALICE:
Just please, we'll turn the lock
With this key sublime
We'll unwind the clock

WHITE RABBIT:
And we're rising up

ALL:
Let them play their ghostly fraud
Witness in the name of god
Still, we'll build a sky so broad
To see is
To dream within you

We will rise beyond what's gone
Stop the night and hold the dawn
In a world where we belong
The key is
To be within you

Ahhhh...

ALICE & WHITE RABBIT:
Leave our shadows on the lawn
Leave a world they got so wrong
There's a sky where we belong
The key is
The key is in you

Alice by Heart the Musical Lyrics

SYNOPSIS
West of Words
Down the Hole
Still
Chillin' the Regrets
The Key Is
Those Long Eyes
Manage Your Flamingo
Sick to Death of Alice-ness
Brillig Braelig
Some Things Fall Away
Your Shell of Grief
Another Room in Your Head
Isn't It a Trial?
Do You Think We Think You're Alice?
I've Shrunk Enough
Afternoon
Winter Blooms
