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
