The Lifting - R.E.M.

Grounded

5 am the night lite 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

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

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 never never

Never never never

Never never never

Never never never

Never never never

Never never never never

Once you had a dream

Of oceans and sunken cities

Memories of things you've never known

And you have left alone
