Wonderland: The Musical - "I Will Prevail"

"I Will Prevail"
From the hit Broadway musical, "Wonderland: Alice Through A Whole New Looking-Glass".

Music by Frank Wildhorn
Lyrics by Jack Murphy

-----------------------------

Hatter:
A child believes the best in you,
and that belief always makes the darkest lies seem almost true.
A sleight of hand, this almost truth can beguile the purest youth
To Wonderland.
Now every piece is in place,
And all that's left to erase before I take over all the power
Is every trace of dear Alice and the Queen
She's been a thorn in my side, and she can run, but can't hide,
We're fast approaching the witching hour
And settling scores is my routine.
Oh well - all's well ends well; farewell, Alice!
Too late - checkmate is your fate: it's over!
I come alive when you're afraid; I'll write the ending of your tragic fairy-tale.
I will survive and you will fade away like flowers small and frail
While I prevail.
This time it's gonna be me: the last thing you ever see!
An Armageddon of my devising; there's no way you can escape from what I do.
So leave your half-hearted souls for me to bully and rule;
The sly magician of compromising; to conjure all that false until it's true.
Poor Jack: blackjack, sad-sack, fallen hero!
Bad news: you lose!
Light the fuse! It's over!
You die, I cry, and so it goes! I am the ending of your tragic fairy-tale!
I will survive and heaven knows there is now way that I can fail:
I will prevail!

@agenttheater5 I Wish that they would release DVDs after closing as well.. however the reason they dont do that with every show is they worry that a lot of people will then just wait for the DVD to come out rather than going to see the show... its a money thing unfortunately :-\
