[Verse 1]
The world is an oyster, the bitter refrain
The Lord is my shepherd, I cannot stay
This blessed earth, this beautiful lamb
A new day that breaks the dawn

[Verse 2]
I am the tide, the oceans sing
I am the anchor, I hold the brass ring
I am the action, the deed of our king
I am the static goodnight

[Verse 3]
You make me to stand in the square on scene
And make my choice, decision to sing
And bring my Lord, what this may bring
I stand before you alone

[Verse 4]
I rallied and sang and shouted refrains
I'm blessed, turn the radio on
The air was calm
I held the bomb and the radio, the radio

[Chorus]
Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah

[Chorus]
Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah
Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah
Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah
Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah

R.E.M.

R.E.M. were an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry.

Berry quit the band in April 1997, as they were getting together to record demos for the album Up. He was not replaced on a permanent basis, but the band used an assortment of drummers in his place.
