Leaving Normal

Stepping through the looking glass

there is no stepping back

The journey once accepted

is a never-ending track

Adventure leads to places

that we should not dare to go

Questions lead to answers

that we should not dare to know

To wander through the wardrobe

is to leave what's safe behind

Forever leaving normal

for the hope of what you'll find

A journey of a thousand steps

that cannot be retraced

A single step once taken

that can never be erased

Dangerous the road that flows

away from your front door

Keep your feet or it may sweep

you to a distant shore

Should ever you joust windmills

or travel mystic lands

Blaze trails through rotting jungles

caravan cross burning sand

Remember with each victory

there's also something lost

There's a price for each adventure

that's not always worth the cost

So whether it's the seven seas

or past the worlds own edge

Regardless of the paths you take

or promises you pledge

Should find you Never never land

and finding choose to go

All that which you had afore

will ne'er again be so

For once you've rode Laptua

or Pandora's Box unbound

Once love has hold your spirit

or wisdom had been found

Once blind eyes have been opened

or sirens song is heard

Once tragedy has struck so hard

that laughter seems absurd

Once Wonderland is entered

your soul is ever changed

The world you left behind you

is ever left estranged

You can return to bridges burned

but o'er them none may pass

For once you stray there is no way

to get back through the glass
