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
