R.e.m.
The Lifting

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 calling
Did you hear these voices calling
Did you hear these voices calling, here

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 sunken cities;
memories of things you've never known
and you have never known.


Mirror lyrics:

and you have never known.
memories of things you've never known
of oceans, and sunken cities;
Once you had a dream

Never, never, never.

these things you've never seen
It's calling you, you don't believe
You've said the air was singing

these things you've never seen, never heard, never dreamed.
It's calling you, you don't believe
You've said the air was singing

and with relief.
"You've always marked these boundaries, now you're free..."
your counselor agrees,
This conceit, these systems of belief,

and rationale is leaving you.
"We're only what our minds assume..."
Locked into the conference room,

Did you hear these voices calling, here
Did you hear these voices calling
Did you hear these voices calling

these things you've never seen, never dreamed.
It's calling you, you don't believe
You've said the air was singing

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

it's perfect for our seminar..."
The weather's fine, the sky is blue -
"Good morning, and how are you?

these things you've never seen
It's calling you, you don't believe
You've said the air was singing

and in review,
across the ceiling;
the story of your life
you have watched, on repeat,
Once settled into sleep

but gravity is holding you.
the nitelite is comforting,
Grounded, 5 A.M.

hark the herald angels sing o come all ye faithful

gonna keep on loving you
