Belong

Performed and composed by R.E.M. Lyrics transcribed by Linda Hennrick.


Her world collapsed early Sunday morning. She got up
from the kitchen table, folded the newspaper, and silenced
the radio.
Those creatures jumped the barricades and headed for
the sea. She began to breathe, with no
thought of the screaming stood and whispered to her
child, "Belong." She held the child and whispered with
calm, calm, "Belong."

She stood and whispered to her child, "Belong." She
held the child and whispered with calm, calm, "Belong."

Those barricades can only hold for so long. Her world
collapsed early Sunday morning. She look the child, held
tight, opened the window, and breathed this song,
"How long?" and knew, knew, belong.
