Lyrics

I propose to climb Mt. Normal
My expedition needs supply
And fortune smiles upon the fool
Who gives at least a try
And in the quest to take Mt. Normal
I've no Sherpa for a guide
It's the kind of trek that feels its way
As I sacrifice my pride
And deign to dare to risk rejection
From what I don't know how to thank
So much that I would give to this
And I don't know what to take
And I am scaling up Mt. Normal
And I get higher every day
And I dream to be somebody else
And every night I pray
That I will stand atop Mt. Normal
Proudly survey the land and sea
And have happy endings if I grasp
And cling to normalcy
Well, I am halfway up Mt. Normal
From here at least it looks that way
Because I notice in the newer eyes
A fear I lack today
And it occurred to me this summit's
Something everybody seeks
We're so aware of the precipice
While we dream about the peaks
And I am scaling up Mt. Normal
And I get higher every day
And I dream to be somebody else
And every night I pray
That I will stand atop Mt. Normal
Proudly survey the land and sea
And have happy endings if I grasp
And cling to normalcy
And I'll chip at the icy obstacles
Until this mountain is secure
And I will realize and find my way
At least I'm reasonably sure
When I am high atop Mt. Normal
I'll finally forgive the past
And feel at once that I belong
To normalcy at last
And I am high atop Mt. Normal
And I get higher every day
And I dream to be somebody else
And every night I pray
That I will stand atop Mt. Normal
Proudly survey the land and sea
And have happy endings if I grasp
And cling to normalcy
And we are scaling up Mt. Normal
And we get higher every day
And we dream to be somebody else
And every night we pray
Someday we'll stand atop Mt. Normal
Proudly survey the land and sea
And have happy endings if we grasp
And cling to normalcy
