Alice's Theme

I'm obsessed with Alice's Theme from the movie Alice in Wonderland (2010) by Time Burton. Composed and written by Danny Elfman, it stars some impressive falsetto (I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's in the falsetto range) choir singing and an orchestral performance that mainly sports brass wind instruments.

The lyrics:

“Alice’s Theme”
Music and Lyrics by Danny Elfman

Oh, Alice, dear where have you been?
So near, so far, so in between?
What have you heard what have you seen?
Alice, Alice, please, Alice!

Oh, tell us are you big or small
To try this one or try them all
It’s such a long, long way to fall
Alice, Alice, oh, Alice

How can you know this way not that?
You choose the door you choose the path
Perhaps you should be coming back
Another day, another day

And nothing is quite what is seems
You’re dreaming are you dreaming, oh, Alice?
(Oh, how will you find your way? Oh, how will you find your way?)
(There’s not time for tears today. There’s no time for tears today.)

So many doors – how did you choose
So much to gain so much to lose
So many things got in your way
No time today, no time today
Be careful not to lose your head
Just think of what the doormouse said…Alice!

Did someone pull you by the hand?
How many miles to Wonderland?
Please tell us so we’ll understand
Alice…Alice…Oh, Alice

(Oh how will you find you way? … Oh, how will you find you way?)

I would offer encouragement to sing along, but I think that's not a very smart thing to do, especially if you're in public. Believe me, it hurts the vocal chords. But it's a lovely piece anyway.
