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 wonāt believe
What they canāt see with their eyes
I suppose Iāve been guilty of that myself
From time to time
But Iāll believe that Youāre listening
And Iāll believe that Youāre interested
And Iāll believe Iām 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
Theyāll 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 aināt true
Yeah but Iāll believe You can hear me
And Iāll believe Youāll draw near to me
And Iāll believe Youāre bending to me
When I canāt rise up and my flesh donāt seem to wise up
To the fact that You are everything I need
Youāre everything I need
Iāll believe that Youāre listening
And Iāll believe that Youāre interested
And Iāll believe Iām forgiven
For every vain repetition, every selfish ambition
Every foolish petition You endure
Chorus
