Lyrics

[Refrain]
Rolling the ball (Rolling), rolling the ball (Rolling), rolling the ball to me (Rolling)
Rolling the ball (Rolling), rolling the ball (Rolling), rolling the ball to me (Rolling)
[Verse 1]
They arrived at an inconvenient time
I was hiding in a room in my mind
They made me look at myself, I saw it well
I'd shut the people out of my life
[Verse 2]
So now I take the opportunities
Wonderful teachers ready to teach me
I must work on my mind, for now I realise
Every one of us has a heaven inside
[Chorus]
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Them heavy people help me
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
[Refrain]
Rolling the ball (Rolling), rolling the ball (Rolling), rolling the ball to me (Rolling)
Rolling the ball (Rolling), rolling the ball (Rolling), rolling the ball to me (Rolling)
[Verse 3]
They open doorways that I thought were shut for good
They read me Gurdjieff and Jesus
They build up my body, break me emotionally
It's nearly killing me, but what a lovely feeling
[Verse 4]
I love the whirling of the dervishes (Come on, give me dervishes love)
I love the beauty of rare innocence
You don't need no crystal ball, don't fall for a magic wand
We humans got it all, we perform the miracles
[Chorus]
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Them heavy people help me (Heavy, heavy, heavy)
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Rolling the, rolling the, rolling the, rolling the (Ro-rolling, ro-rolling)
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Them heavy people help me (Heavy, heavy, heavy)
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Rolling the, rolling the, rolling the, rolling the (Ro-rolling, ro-rolling)
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Them heavy people help me (Heavy, heavy, heavy)
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Rolling the, rolling the, rolling the, rolling the (Ro-rolling, ro-rolling)
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Them heavy people help me (Heavy, heavy, heavy)
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
