Song lyrics The lifting by REM

Grounded 5 a.m.
The nightlite 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, 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 calling

Locked into a 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 mark 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 said the air was singing
It´s calling you you don´t believe
These things you´ve never seen.

Never [x19]

Once you had a dream
Of oceans, and sunken cities
Memories of things you´ve never known
