R.e.m. - It Happened Today lyrics

This is not a parable This is a terrible This is a terrible thing. Yes I will write 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 all I've done today I have earned my voice It happened today, hooray hooray It happened, hip hip hooray
