lyrics

You’re climbing up to the sky
And you know someday you’ll die
And it doesn’t matter when in a dream
Let the world fall all around you.

Try to wake up, your sleep is advertised
And no one cares, just what’s objectified
And your eyes will quiver
Relax, the river will carry you away like a baby

Chorus
Pay attention, pay attention, pay attention
It’s coming from afar.
Someone must be, someone must be, someone must be
Counting up the stars.

And the creatures, both great and small.
Come to warn you, a hard rain’s gonna fall.
You can hardly make it out.
But the truth is manifest in the air you breathe.

Time and time again, you’ve knelt beside her bed.
And somehow, you’ve kept your children fed.
Reading poetry, poetry, poetry, sometimes for hours.
Still you keep your trust, ‘cause you know you must.
