Everest [Instrumental] Songtext
von Public Service Broadcasting

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

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
