I watch the world go round and round

And my life goes by at the speed of sound

I walk the night

And I wonder just where I belong, oh

My heart is young, but my soul is old

I've never been one to do what I was told

My back to the wall

Is the only place I can feel strong, oh

Heaven only knows what lies before me

Heaven only knows what all my searching is for

All my life I've waited for a miracle

But I can't ask for anything more

I like to think I'm a faithful man

To resist desire, and do all I can

I hope to die in the arms of the woman I love, oh

Heaven only knows what lies before me

Heaven only knows what all my searching is for

All my life I've waited for a miracle

But I can't ask for anything more

I've always wondered how to know right from wrong

Looking for a reason to replace what is gone

But somehow the road just seems to lead right back to me

Heaven only knows what lies before me

Heaven only knows what all my searching is for

All my life I've waited for a miracle

But I can't ask for anything more
