Blues Traveler Mount Normal (from Truth Be Told) Lyrics

Mount Normal (from Truth Be Told) Lyrics

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 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 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.
