Mount Normal Lyrics - Truth Be Told - Blues Traveler

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 

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 fake 

So much that I would give to this 

And I don't know what to take 

And I am scaling up Mount Normal 

And I get higher every day 

And I dream to be somebody else 

And every night 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 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 

Is something everybody seeks 

We're so aware of the precipice 

While we dream about the peaks 

And I am scaling up Mount Normal 

And I get higher every day 

And I dream to be somebody else 

And every night 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 

Then I will realize and find my way 

At least I'm reasonably sure 

When I am high atop Mount Normal 

I'll finally forgive the past 

And feel at once that I belonged 

To normalcy at last 

And I am high atop Mount Normal 

And I get higher every day 

And I dream to be somebody else 

And every night 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 are scaling up Mount Normal 

And we get higher every day 

And we dream to be somebody else 

And every night we pray 

Someday we'll stand atop Mount Normal 

Proudly survey the land and sea 

And have happy endings if we grasp 

And cling to normalcy
