Welcome to Wonderland.
My god it's half past eight.
Who cares if you came late.
We don't care where you've been.
You're gonna fit right in.
A little fun detour.
A little crazy, sure.
Don't get all insecure.
Pardon me, but have you seen
Someone looking like a queen?
Sharpening a guillotine
Prob'ly just as well (Ha!)
She's capricious as can be,
Lopping heads off by decree.
This week severed forty-three;
Cutting them pell mell.
Beatrice
What a party! Has it started snowing?
Ev’ryone not coming will be going.
Trio
Do you know the Queen of Hearts’ new orders?
Lucy
They're the same as always: close the borders.

Could she be the one, you know?
Tin Man, Lion or Scarecrow?
Josh B
Wait, that's from a diff’rent show.
Alice:
Please start making sense.

Have you seen my walrus, dear?
Big moustache that's down to here.
Eli/Ma/Phoe Made the oysters disappear,

Claiming self-defense.
Alice:

I think I'm dreaming.
And when I wake up,
I'll wake up screaming.

Ok, someone tell me what's the deal here.
Hey, lady, here’s the deal.
Welcome to Wonderland.
This is your new address.
You'll love it more or less.
No time to decompress.
It's afternoon all day.
There's lots of games to play.
Flamingo lawn croquet.
So please enjoy your stay.

Ev’ryday, it's something new.
Problems up the old wazoo.
Rumors of a palace coup.
Get me outta here.
Answers are in short supply.
Who, what, where, when, how or why?
Cross my heart and hope to die.
Get it into gear.
When your alter-ego's interfering,
Self-esteem cannot help disappearing.
Welcome to Wonderland.
Start rockin’ with the band.
You're going so damn fast.
Your future's in your past.
An author always knows
Which way the story goes.
So tidy up loose ends
With a little help from your friends.
Come on and sing along and join our little band.
Turn up the volume and keep on dancin'.
Sit back, enjoy yourself, and feel the river flow;
Make sure the journey's worth
The things you're chancin'.
We're all a little nuts, in case you didn’t know.
Ooblee, (Oooblee), Ooblah, (Ooblah).
We'd love to stay here but we really gotta go.
Ooblee, (Oooblee), Ooblah, (Ooblah).
Life can be fantastic ev’ry minute
For as long as you can just stay in it.
Welcome to Wonderland
Where ev’rything you see,
I mean from "A" to "Z",
Ain't what it seems to be.
Welcome to Wonderland.

I BELIEVE (Book of Mormon)
Solo
I Believe that God has a plan for all of us.
I believe that plan involves getting my own planet.
And I believe that the current president of the church,
Thomas Monson, speaks directly to God.
I am a Mormon, and, dang it, a Mormon just believes.
I know that I must go and do
The things my God commands.
I realize now why he sent me here!
If you ask the Lord in faith,
He will always answer you.
Just believe in him and have no fear.
Chorus
Ah.
I believe. Ah.
Believe.
Ooh.
A Mormon just believes.
Things my (God) commands,
Ah, ah, ah
Ooh,
Always answer you.
Just believe, have no fear!
I believe that Satan has a hold of you.
Ah, Satan has a hold.
I believe
I believe
That the Lord God has sent me here.
God has sent me here.
And I believe
Believe,
That in Nineteen Seventy eight
Ooh,
God changed his mind about black people.
Black people!
You can be a Mormon,
You can be a Mormon,
A Mormon who just believes.
A Mormon who just believes!
MAMA
Oh, look out there in the eastern sky, is that a hint of light?
Oh, come and look, I need to know if I am seeing right.
We lived so long in dark, I'm almost frightened to believe
Those clearing skies on that glist’ning horizon.
Please tell me my eyes do not decieve me...
Ain't it sweet to smell the morning, in a world washed fresh and clean?
Now the storm has left it's warning, and we see, we see a hint of green.
Pale gray light, grow strong and golden, and release us from our pen,
Where we rocked for endless days, on a sea of endless grays.
Now we sing a song of praise, Amen...
Ain't it good? Ain't it good? Ain't it good to see the sun again?
And now I can feel the excitement.
This is the moment I was born to do.
And I feel so incredible
To be sharing my faith with you.
The scriptures say that if you ask in faith,
If you ask God himself, you’ll know.
But you must ask him without any doubt
And let your spirit grow.
Let your spirit grow!
I believe
That God lives on a planet called Kolob.
I believe
I believe,
Ah.
I believe,
That Jesus has his own planet as well.
And I believe that the Garden of Eden
was in Jackson County, Missouri.
If you believe, the Lord will reveal it.
And you’ll know it’s all true,
You’ll just feel it.
You’ll be a Mormon, and by gosh,
A Mormon just believes.
His own planet as well.
Believe,
Ooh.
Oh, I believe.
I believe!
AIN’T IT GOOD (Children of Eden)
A Mormon just believes,

When my ears
Were filled with thunder,
When my soul
Began to shake
There were times
I'd truly wonder
If those clouds
Would ever break.
But no storm
Will last forever
Though we felt
So helpless then.
Now we raise a joyful chant
For a glimpse of olive plant!
Haven't seen one since I can't
Remember when...
Ain’t it good
Oh ain't it good
Our hearts are dancing!
Ain’t it good,
So good!
We got a second chance!

When my ears
They were filled with thunder,
And when my soul,
When my soul began to shake,
There were times
I would truly wonder
Those dark and gloomy rain clouds,
If those clouds would ever break.
But there’s no storm,
No storm will last forever.
We felt so helpless.
Oo
Oo!
Can’t remember when
It felt so good!
When skies are clearing?
How our hearts begin to dance!
How our hopes
Are reappearing,
Since we’ve been granted
A second chance!
And for now,
And for now,
We’re done with fearing
We are done with fearing.
We might be
We thought we’d be
The final generation.
The final generation.
In a dawn that's newborn fresh,
In a dawn...
Open wide this floating crèche,
Open wide...
And deliver ev’ry precious specimen! And deliver...
Ain't it good ?
Brother, ain’t it good?
Oh, ain’t it good?
Ain’t it good, now?
Ain’t it good?
Ain't it good to see the sun again,
Ain't it good to see the sun again,

Smelling rain and gopher wood...

My mummy says I'm a miracle!
My daddy says I'm his special little guy!
I am a princess
And I am a prince.
Mum says I'm an angel sent down from the sky.
My daddy says I'm his special little soldier.,
No one is as handsome, strong as me.
It's true he indulges my tendency to bulge,
But I'm his little soldier, hup two four free!
My mummy says I'm a miracle,
One look at my face, and it's plain to see.
Ever since the day doc chopped the umbilical Cord
It's been clear there's no peer for a miracle like me.
My daddy says I'm his special little soldier,
No one is as bold or tough as me.
Has my daddy told ya,
one day when I'm older,
I can be a soldier and shoot you in the face!
Mums
Take another picture of our angel
She looks lovely in this light.
I know I oughtn’t say this
But she is the cutest here, am I right?
I think you’re right!
Come here honey, next to mummy,
Don’t put honey on your brother.
Smile for mummy, smile for mother.
I think she blinked.
Well take another!
Have you heard the way she speaks?
She’s just so precious when she speaks.
You should have heard the funny thing
she said last week.
She’s just hilarious and delightful,
So precociously insightful;
Might she be a little brighter than the norm?
I know to voice it’s frightful form.

One can hardly move for beauty and brilliance these days
It seems that there are millions of these one-in-a-millions these days.
“Specialness” seems de rigueur.
Above average is average; go figeur,
Is it is some modern miracle of calculus, that such frequent miracles don't
render each one un-miraculous?

You can be all cynical, but it's a truth empirical:

WHEN I GROW UP (Matilda)
When I grow up (When I grow up, when I grow up),
I will be tall enough to reach the branches
That I need to reach to climb the trees
You get to climb when you're grown up.
And when I grow up (When I grow up, when I grow up),
I will be smart enough to answer all
The questions that you need to know
The answers to before you're grown up.
And when I grow up (And when I grow up),
I will eat sweets ev’ry day on the way to work,
And I will go to bed late ev’ry night.
And I will wake up (And I will wake up)
When the sun comes up, and I
Will watch cartoons until my eyes go square,
And I won't care 'cause I'll be all grown up.
When I grow up.
Even if you're little you can do a lot,
You mustn't let a little thing like 'little' stop you.
If you sit around and let them get on top,
You won't change a thing.
Just because you find that life's not fair,
It doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it.
If you always take it on the chin and wear it,
You might as well be saying you think that it's okay.
And that's not right.
And if it's not right, you have to put it right.
But nobody else is gonna put it right for me.
Nobody but me is gonna change my story.
Sometimes you have to be a little bit
(Trunchbull: Maggots!) Naughty.
Son of my yearning, daughter of hope.
Beautiful child of my song.
Lothlórien (Lord of the Rings)
Legolas
From the west she appeared,
Sunlight and stars in her hair.
In her eyes an undying memory of home,
A land that is magical and fair.
Although storms may descend,
Mountain and valley may quake.
For the days that remain,
This is the promise I make.
No shadow fall across this land,
Before the wind and fire I stand,
And you my child will know no harm,
Enfolded in my arms,
Lothlórien!
When her feet came to rest,
Deep in a canopied glade,
She lifted her face and there as she danced.
The realm of Lothlórien she made.
Gaze on me lady of gold,
Reawaken my slumbering soul.
Beacon of courage summon me home,
To your haven of wonders untold.

Children Of Eden (Children Of Eden)
Eve
Like this brief day, my light is nearly gone.
But through the night, my children, you will go on.
You will know heartache, prayers that don't work,
And times of bitter circumstances...
But I still believe in second chances...
Children of Eden, where have we left you?
Born to uncertainty, destined for pain...
Sins of your parents haunt you and test you.
This, your inheritance: fire and rain.
Children of Eden, try not to blame us.
We were just human, to error prone.
Children of Eden, will you reclaim us?
You and your children to come,
Someday, to come home...
Storytellers and Family
Children of Eden, where is our garden?
Where is the innocence we can't regain?
Once eyes are opened,
Must those eyes harden?
Lost in the wilderness.
Eve
Once our eyes are opened,
Must they harden?
Must we be
Lost in the wilderness?
Must we remain?
Children of Eden,
Ah
Oh, my precious children,
If you think of us,
Try not to blame us.
We were just human
To error prone.
Storytellers, Family + Eve
Oh, Children of Eden, you will reclaim us.
You (and your) children to come,
Someday you'll come home.
At the End of the Day (Les Miserables)
The Poor
At the end of the day you're another day older,
And that's all you can say for the life of the poor.
It's a struggle, it's a war,
And there's nothing that anyone's giving,
One more day standing about, what is it for?
One day less to be living.
At the end of the day you're another day colder,
And the shirt on your back doesn't keep out the chill.
And the righteous hurry past,
They don't hear the little ones crying,
And the winter is coming on fast. Ready to kill.
One day nearer to dying.
Alto
All
At the end of the day there's another day dawning,
And the sun in the morning is waiting to rise.
Like the waves’ crash on the sand,
Like a storm that'll break any second.
There's a hunger in the land,
There's a reckoning still to be reckoned,
And there's gonna be hell to pay.
At the end of the day!
Epilogue (Les Miserables)
Chorus
Do you hear the people sing? Lost in the valley of the night?
It is the music of a people who are climbing to the light.
For the wretched of the earth there is a flame that never dies,
Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.
They will live again in freedom in the garden of the Lord,
They will walk behind the plough-share,
They will put away the sword.
The chain will be broken and all men will have their reward!!
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Do you hear the people sing? Say, do you hear the distant drums?
It is the future that they bring when tomorrow comes.
Will you join in our crusade?
