Mysterious Power

God, I am nothing but a boy in my room But when I stand at the windowsill, I look at the moon And I know something is rising to another dimension Going out of my mind, way across the midwestern expanses It dances out under the stars It's a prayer, and it's there when I'm riding in cars And when I'm listening to music, when I'm watching TV I don't know how to say it, I get down on my knees in my room In the evening when no one's around And then I turn on the radio, I turn up the sound I say, "No, no, don't fall through I need you Call me up right now I'd call you but I don't know how" It started out when I was ten years old I climbed into the driver's seat, the car started to roll down a hill And I fell deep in love with a lady who I hadn't yet met Oh, but she made me her baby Right then and that's when I started into this dream And it's not done, I don't wake up I don't know what it means But I know that she's out there God, I know you can hear me I want love to be real I want you to be near me But the radio's broken The phone's out of service And we've got no connection And it's making me nervous I say, "No, no, don't fall out I call out In this night's last hour I'm feeling that mysterious power" God, I am nothing but a boy in my room A boy in my room, feeling that mysterious power A boy in my room, a boy in my room Feeling that mysterious power
