Stormin" Norman
   written by Mike Bryant
key of D

[Verse 1]
Young Norman lined up proud
At the edge of Santa’s lot
He practiced in the snowdrift
Hoping for his shot
But his eyes went every which way
And the giggles started fast
From the elves up on the railings
From the herd that laughed and laughed

[Pre-Chorus]
He heard one more crack of teasing
And he bolted through the gate
Past the candy cane workshop
Past the sleighs and reindeer lake
Santa watched the hoofprints fading
In the frosty evening haze
Then he turned to chief Elf Sydney
Said, “Bring Norman back today”

[Chorus]
Norman, Norman, come on home
(come on home)
Stormin' Norman, you’re not alone
(not alone)
Run through the night
Bring the sun back in
Stormin' Norman
Save Christmas again

[Verse 2]
Sydney found him by the pinewoods
Head down, ears bent low
Said, “They laughed because they couldn’t see
What I know”
“Your stride is strong, your heart is huge
You were born for this sky”
Norman shook with hurt and worry
But he listened to her kind

[Pre-Chorus]
Then the clouds came in a hurry
Black and wild across the plain
Wind tore through the chimneys
Ice was slashing at the train
Sydney looked at Norman
Said, “Now’s the time to show them how”
Norman planted both his hooves
And he took a fearless vow

[Chorus]
Norman, Norman, come on home
(come on home)
Stormin' Norman, you’re not alone
(not alone)
Run through the night
Bring the sun back in
Stormin' Norman
Save Christmas again

[Bridge]
Through the storm they charged together
One brave elf and one brave deer
Norman kept the sleigh lane steady
Cutting through the frozen fear
At the final turn he saved it
Pulled the whole town through the night
Then the lights came back on smiling
And the bells rang clear and bright

[Chorus]
Norman, Norman, come on home
(come on home)
Stormin' Norman, you’re not alone
(not alone)
Run through the night
Bring the sun back in
Stormin' Norman
Save Christmas again

[Outro]
Santa threw his arms around him
The elves all cheered his name
“Stormin' Norman!”
“Stormin' Norman!”
And the whole town sang the same
