LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: THE LIFTING/R.E.M.





Grounded 5am
The nitelite is comforting
But gravity is holding you
Once settled into sleep you have watched, on repeat
The story of you 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
All 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 the voices calling?
Did you hear the voices calling?
Did you hear the voices calling you?

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 your 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
