They will tell you
Hey dreamy little girl
you got to be tough
It’s a big mean world
It talks sweet but plays rough
An apple and shade
it will offer you
under the purple tree
But in the end
sting you like a bee
Be brave Alice, be strong
Look and you will find
It won’t take long
to know where you belong
When all is blown
You’re not alone, not far gone
I am still around
Come, dream big with Me
Never say I’m so little
And this is all I can be
I’m weak and brittle
Life gets beautiful
It gets ugly
There’s no magic ship
to sail smoothly
I will teach you
to dance, to keep moving
to keep dreaming
to keep your heart tender
When life puts you in a blender
Be brave Alice, be strong
They will tell you
There’s no Me
That you got to fight
on your own to break free
See the little hummingbird
and the fragile butterfly
I send them flowers to choose
They just can’t lose
Come, dream big with Me
Never say I’m so little
And this is all I can be
I’m weak and brittle
A day will come
and you will fly
Towards an unknown future
under the vanilla sky
Into a world that’s wild
to chase the dreams
you had as a child
When you stumble
and life goes wrong
Take My hand, follow My lead
I have known you for so long
Be brave Alice, be strong
