Lyrics Isn't It a Trial? - Grace McLean & Alice By Heart Original Cast Recording Company

Talk and talk and talk
Still you're never not you
All your same old wants
Now where have they brought you
Shuffle all your hearts
Play like sister taught you
No one wins at cards
Or plays like they ought to

Isn't it a trial
To try and stay a child
When everything you've read
Swells your little head
Shall we have a song
For the girl gone naughty
Somehow feels so wrong
Now to have that body
Rabbit got so big
What's his mama fed him
Don't you feel a pig
Still you want to pet him

Well, isn't it a trial
To try and stay a child
The world no longer fits
And still you're stuck in it
Isn't it a trial
No child can stay a child
God knows what you did
But now you're not a kid

So now you have a past
And no one understands

Just turn another page
My dear you look your age

Really?

Hey!
Isn't it a trial
To try and stay a child
And no one, no one knows
The way out of the hole
Isn't it a trial
No child can stay a child
The story never told
Now Wonderland grows old
Isn't it a trial
Isn't it a trial
