Heaven Knows Lyrics

Heaven Knows lyrics

nowadays they want a soldier fighter  

 not a preacher writer or a mystery man  

 somebody told me that the future's brighter  

 make tomorrow lighter put it in your hands  

  

 but I don't wanna cry anymore  

 try anymore -- die anymore  

  

 heaven knows I'm impatient  

 I can't control these hands of fate  

 heaven knows I'm still waiting  

 are they too soon or am I too late  

  

 oh is that so  

 only heaven knows  

 well I wanna know  

 tell me is that so  

 only heaven knows  

 heaven only knows  

  

 here come the romeos the brave I told you so's  

 the travelling g.i. joes with come on lines  

 here come the great defenders  

 wh think they can befriend us  

 why do we all pretend to know these guys  

  

 well I don't wanna wait anymore  

 be late anymore -- hate anymore  

  

 heaven knows I'm impatient  

 I can't control these hands of fate  

 heaven knows I'm still waiting  

 are they too soon or am I too late  

  

 oh is that so  

 only heaven knows  

 well I wanna know  

 tell me is that so  

 only heaven knows  

 heaven only knows  

  

 what a strange design  

 it's a planet out of time  

 someone tell me why  

 is the world like that  

  

 oh heaven knows  

 I said oh heaven knows  

  

 heaven knows I'm impatient  

 I can't control these hands of fate  

 heaven knows I'm still waiting  

 are they too soon or am I too late  

  

 you resign yourself to a simple fate  

 to live your life by the sell by date  

 haul yourself up the same old hill  

 watch the world from your windowsill  

 we always want what we can't afford  

 so we listen out for the missing chord  

 the chord is there and it's in your mind  

 so why do you make it so hard to find
