R.E.M. "THE LIFTING" Lyrics

R.E.M. The Lifting Lyrics:

Grounded 5 AM 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
And it's calling you
You don't believe me
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
And it's calling you, you don't believe me
These things you've never seen
Never dreamed

Did you hear these voices calling?
Did you hear these voices calling?
Did you hear these voices calling you?

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 always mark these boundaries
Now you're free and with relief

You've said the air was singing
And it's calling you, you don't believe me
These things you've never seen
You never heard, you never dreamed

You've said the air was singing
And it's calling you, you don't believe
These things you've never seen
Never, never, never

Now once you had a dream
Of oceans and sunken cities
Memories of things you've never known
And you have never known
