Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Once there was a mountain called Peak 15

Nothing was known about it

But in 1852 the surveyors found it

Was the highest in the world

And they named it Everest

[Verse 2]

When men were first drawn to Everest

It was an unknown quantity

Something entirely beyond them

Something entirely beyond them

[Verse 3]

A climber climbs with his guts, his brain, his soul, and his feet

All of them bound for a cold, white world

A world that is all up and up

Up and up

[Verse 4]

The air is getting thinner and thinner

At such heights when you're lacking oxygen

You may think you're normal but you're not

You're moving in a dream

A dream that deludes and debilitates

[Verse 5]

Two very small men cutting steps in the roof of the world

[Verse 6]

Up and up

Why should a man climb Everest?

Because it is there
