The Lifting

Grounded, 5 A.M.Enraizado, 5 A.M.

the nitelite is comforting,la luz nocturna reconforta,

but gravity is holding you.pero la gravedad te retiene.

Once settled into sleepUna vez que te has acomodado para dormir

you have watched, on repeat,has visto, en repetición,

the story of your lifela historia de tu vida

across the ceiling;a lo largo del techo;

and in review,y en revisión,

You've said the air was singingHas dicho que el aire cantaba

It's calling you, you don't believeTe llama, no crees

these things you've never seenen estas cosas que nunca has visto

"Good morning, and how are you?'Buenos días, ¿cómo estás?

The weather's fine, the sky is blue -El clima está bien, el cielo está azul -

it's perfect for our seminar..."es perfecto para nuestro seminario...'

"Now close your eyes,'Ahora cierra los ojos,

and start to breathe.y comienza a respirar.

Allow the noise to recede...Permite que el ruido se desvanezca...

...allow yourself to drift and fly away."...permítete desvanecerte y volar lejos.'

But you just stay.Pero solo te quedas.

You've said the air was singingHas dicho que el aire cantaba

It's calling you, you don't believeTe llama, no crees

these things you've never seen, never dreamed.en estas cosas que nunca has visto, nunca soñado.

Did you hear these voices calling¿Escuchaste esas voces llamando?

Locked into the conference room,Encerrado en la sala de conferencias,

"We're only what our minds assume..."'Solo somos lo que nuestras mentes asumen...'

and rationale is leaving you.y la racionalidad te está abandonando.

This conceit, these systems of belief,Esta idea, estos sistemas de creencias,

your counselor agrees,tu consejero está de acuerdo,

"You've always marked these boundaries, now you're free..."'Siempre has marcado estos límites, ahora eres libre...'

and with relief.y con alivio.

You've said the air was singingHas dicho que el aire cantaba

It's calling you, you don't believeTe llama, no crees

these things you've never seen, never heard, never dreamed.en estas cosas que nunca has visto, nunca escuchado, nunca soñado.

You've said the air was singingHas dicho que el aire cantaba

It's calling you, you don't believeTe llama, no crees

these things you've never seenen estas cosas que nunca has visto

Never, never, never.Nunca, nunca, nunca.

Once you had a dreamUna vez tuviste un sueño

of oceans, and sunken cities;de océanos y ciudades hundidas;

memories of things you've never knownrecuerdos de cosas que nunca has conocido

and you have never knowny que nunca has conocido
