The Lifting — текст песни (R.E.M.)

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
