I probably should've titled it 'Perspectives' because that's what the song is really about...  But there's something about the title 'Mt. St. Helens' that just pleases me!  
Anyways, this is my newest, and probably hardest song to date.  So enjoy!
Lyrics:
If you ask my parents about Mt. St. Helens
They'll say it sure did crumble, sure did crumble
Fast.
And it took the fun from breathing
When the air did fill, the air did fill
With ash.
If you ask a child about Mt. St. Helens
They'll say it sure feels tall, it sure feels big
To them.
But it's only sleeping
And the snow that built upon it makes a blank
Blanket.

And if the snow can make a blanket
Maybe it isn't so cold.
And some tales have been told and told
Yet some sob stories (and you know the ones I mean)
Can get so old.
And if we could understand each other
Maybe we could stand for one another
And travel down our dainty, little road.

If you ask a yank about Canada
They'll say it's all the same, it's all the same
To them.
But really it's not the same at all
Because everything, oh everything is
Canadian.
If you ask a yank about Australia
They'll say the words there don't seem
So wrong.
But that doesn't mean that they always know, they always know
Exactly how to respond.

It's all about perspective!
