It Happened Today (Feat. Eddie Vedder and Joel Gibb) Lyrics
R.E.M.
This is not a parable
This is a terrible
This is a terrible thing
Yes I will rhyme that after, after all I've done today
I have earned my wings
It happened today.
Hooray! Hooray!
It happened.
Hip, hip, hooray!
We'll leave the allegory to another Bible story
Out of deference, defiance and choice
And close in on a promise after, after all I've done today
I have earned my voice
It happened today.
Hooray! Hooray!
It happened.
Hip, hip, hooray!
This is a terrible
This is a terrible thing
Yes I will rhyme that after, after all I've done today
I have earned my wings
It happened today.
Hooray! Hooray!
It happened.
Hip, hip, hooray!
We'll leave the allegory to another Bible story
Out of deference, defiance and choice
And close in on a promise after, after all I've done today
I have earned my voice
It happened today.
Hooray! Hooray!
It happened.
Hip, hip, hooray!
