Everest |
| Once there was a mountain called Peak XV |
| Nothing was known about it |
| But in 1852 the surveyors found it was the highest in the world |
| And they named it Everest |
| When men were first drawn to Everest they found it was an unknown quantity |
| Something entirely beyond them |
| When men were first drawn to Everest it was an unknown quantity |
| Something entirely beyond them |
| Something entirely beyond them |
| A climber climbs with his guts, his brain, his soul, and his feet |
| All of them bound for a cold and white world |
| A world that is all up and up |
| Up and up |
| 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 |
| Two very small men cutting steps in the roof of the world |
| The roof of the world |
| Up and up |
| Up and up |
| Why should a man climb Everest? |
| Because it is there |
