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.
