Mount Normal

I propose to climb Mount Normal

My expedition needs supply

And fortune smiles upon the fool

Who gives at least a try

And in the quest to take Mount Normal

I've no sherpa for a guide

Its the kind of trek that feels its way

As I sacrifice my pride

And aim to dare to risk rejection

And what I don't know how to think

So much that I would give to this

And I don't know what to take



And I'm standing on Mount Normal

And I get higher everyday

And I dream to be somebody else

And everynight I pray that I will

Stand atop Mount Normal

Proudly survey the land and sea

And have happy endings if I grasp

And cling to normalcy



Well I am halfway up Mount Normal

From here atleast it looks that way

Because I notice in the newer rise

A fear I lack today

And it occured to me the summitt

Is something everybody seeks

We're so aware of the precipice

While we dream about the peaks



And I'm standing on Mount Normal

And I get higher everyday

And I dream to be somebody else

And everynight I pray that I will

Stand atop Mount 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

Atleast I am reasonably sure

When I am high atop Mount Normal

I will finally forgive the past

And feel at once I belong to

Normalcy at last



And I'm high at top Mount Normal

And I get higher everyday

And I dream to be somebody else

And everynight I pray that I will

Stand atop Mount Normal

Proudly survey the land and sea

And have happy endings if I grasp

And cling to normalcy



And we're standing on Mount Normal

And we get higher everyday

And we dream to be somebody else

And everynight we pray that we will

Stand atop Mount Normal

Proudly survey the land and sea

And have happy endings if we grasp

And cling to normalcy.
