**[Intro — whispered]** Alice… The rabbit never owned the clock. The mirror never knew your name. Come home. **[Verse 1]** White walls, wild woods, winter-blue light, Watch all the wonders dissolve in the night. Rabbit runs circles, but circles don’t lead, Roses turn red when you water the seed. Tea cups are talking, the table is long, Everybody’s certain, everybody is wrong. Cheshire keeps grinning like truth is a game, But **you know your heartbeat, you know your name.** **[Pre-Chorus]** Feel the floor underneath your feet, Count four breaths, hear four beats. Touch the ground, let the colors clear— **What you can feel is already here.** **[Chorus]** **Wake up, Alice, wake up now,** Let the painted kingdom tumble down. No looking glass, no rabbit hole, No Queen of Hearts can own your soul. **Wake up, Alice, follow my voice,** Reality waits—you still have a choice. Stars can shine without swallowing you whole, Come back to the room, Come back to your body, **Come back home.** **[Verse 2]** Mad Hatter says midnight happens at noon, The moon says the ocean is chasing the moon. Cards build a castle, then call it the sky, But paper kingdoms collapse when you ask them **why**. Name five things that your eyes can see, Four that you touch, three sounds around thee, Two things you smell, one truth you know: **You are right here. You don’t have to go.** **[Pre-Chorus]** Let every impossible hallway end, Let every strange shadow become just a friend. You don’t have to fight every thought that appears— **Let it pass like a cloud; let the daylight come near.** **[Chorus]** **Wake up, Alice, wake up now,** Let the painted kingdom tumble down. No looking glass, no rabbit hole, No Queen of Hearts can own your soul. **Wake up, Alice, follow my voice,** Reality waits—you still have a choice. Stars can shine without swallowing you whole, Come back to the room, Come back to your body, **Come back home.** **[Bridge — dream begins breaking apart]** The rabbit is only a rabbit. The clock is only a clock. A door is a door when you turn the lock. The roses are roses. The sky is the sky. A thought can feel enormous And still not be a fact inside your mind. **Breathe in—** There is air. **Breathe out—** You are there. Your hands are yours. Your name is true. The world doesn’t disappear Just because it frightened you. **[Breakdown — Alice answers]** “Was I dreaming?” Maybe. “Was it real?” It felt real. “Then where am I?” **Here.** “And who am I?” **Alice.** **[Final Chorus — huge piano, strings, choir]** **WAKE UP, ALICE, OPEN YOUR EYES,** Morning is breaking through Wonderland skies. Let every illusion release its control, You never belonged to the rabbit hole. **Wake up, Alice, come into the light,** You don’t have to conquer the darkness tonight. Just follow one heartbeat wherever it goes— One breath, one moment, One thing that you know: **You are here. You are now. You are standing on solid ground.** Let Wonderland wander, Let Wonderland roam— You can visit the stars… **and still come home.** **[Outro — almost whispered]** No rabbit. No queen. No mirror between. Just morning. Just breath. Just Alice— **awake.**
