Sometimes I puzzle 'bout the spirits And why fear and trembling's always 'round Seems the last time God pitched in down here Was when Pharaoh and his army was drowned When I seek to unravel the sacred I get perplexed and overwhelmed I'm not in tune with the ecclesiastical Can't get a fix on the ethereal ground When all is lost and we have no courage ain't gonna get us through The old folks say "Well now all we can do is pray" Well perhaps that's the best thing we can do I'm not profound or perceptive Most time I don't know what I say It's likely God don't need to hear my prayers I just need to hear me praying
