about

"Wading Through Normal" is on Heather Hill's "Leuty Station".

Three words: female power song. This song as a tribute to women of all walks of life that make great sacrifices to look after those they love. These women are often unnoticed for their tireless efforts and don’t always realize how strong they are while they are “wading through normal”.

The song has elements of Alanis and Tori Amos. It is an anthem rock ballad with ABBA like back-up vocals.

lyrics

Wading Through Normal
by Heather Hill, Meghan Morrison and Orville Heyn

Someday she’ll get to sleep in
But today, Jane’s up with the sun
She’s back to skipping breakfast, to feed the hungry one
Filling his pocket with a tissue and snack
How long before she’s back?

Does she know…does she know how strong she is?
Wading through normal.
Does she know…does she know how strong she is?
Wading through normal.

Someday she’ll turn off her phone
But today her work will follow her home
She wishes she had a door to close, just to be alone
A moment to dream, not just survive
How long before it’s five?

Does she know…does she know how strong she is?
Wading through normal.
Does she know…does she know how strong she is?
Wading through normal.

She’s remarkable in the every day
Notable in the always there
So loving no matter what she does
She’ll take the time to give

Someday she’ll just have one job
But tonight, Jane needs her second wind
She’s back, mending that skirt, she’s always wearing thin
A little lift, pinched cheeks for blush
How long before she’s flush?

Does she know…does she know how strong she is?
Wading through normal.
Does she know…does she know how strong she is?
Wading through normal.
