Bouncing Off The Ceiling

Ragamuffin Band

Sometimes I get the feeling
My prayers bounce right off the ceiling
And they spin around the room with me
And they never get to You

There are those who won't believe
What they can't see with their eyes
I suppose I've been guilty of that myself
From time to time

But I'll believe that You're listening
And I'll believe that You're interested
And I'll believe I'm forgiven
For every vain repetition, every selfish ambition
Every foolish petition You endure

Chorus-
Sometimes I get the feeling
My prayers bounce right off the ceiling
And they spin around the room with me
And they never get to You
And though my head is reeling I will still go on believing
They'll fly like holy missiles and tear a hole right through the roof

My one wish is to break through
When I try to get to You
My one fear is a deaf ear
Please tell me it ain't true

Yeah but I'll believe You can hear me
And I'll believe You'll draw near to me
And I'll believe You're bending to me
When I can't rise up and my flesh don't seem to wise up
To the fact that You are everything I need
You're everything I need

I'll believe that You're listening
And I'll believe that You're interested
And I'll believe I'm forgiven
For every vain repetition, every selfish ambition
Every foolish petition You endure

Chorus
