R.E.M. THE LIFTING lyrics

Grounded, 5 a.m.
The nitelite is comforting,
But gravity is holding you.

Once settled into sleep
You have watched, on repeat,
The story of your life
Across the ceiling;
And in review,

You´ve said the air was singing
It´s calling you you don´t believe
These things you´ve never seen

"good morning, and how are you?
The weather´s fine, the sky is blue-
It´s perfect for our seminar..."

"now close your eyes,
And start to breathe,
Allow the noise to recede...
...allow yourself to drift and fly away."
But you just stay.

You´ve said the air was singing
It´s calling you you don´t believe
These things you´ve never seen, never dreamed

Did you hear these voices callling

Locked into the conference room,
"we´re only what our minds assume..."
And rationale is leaving you.

This conceit, these systems of belief,
Your counselor agrees,
"you´ve always marked these boundaries, now
You´re free..."
And with relief.

You´ve said the air was singing
It´s calling you you don´t believe
These things you´ve never seen, never heard,
Never dreamed

You´ve said the air was singing
It´s calling you you don´t believe
These things you´ve never seen

Never, never, never.

Once you had a dream
Of oceans, and sulken cities;
Memories of things you´ve never known
And you have never known
