Nowadays they want a solider 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

Who 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

(solo)

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 doo 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 you 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
