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
