Lirieke: Leo Sayer. Heaven Knows.

nowadays they want a soldier fighternot a preacher writer or a mystery mansomebody told me that the future's brightermake tomorrow lighter put it in your hands
but I don't wanna cry anymoretry anymore -- die anymore
heaven knows I'm impatientI can't control these hands of fateheaven knows I'm still waitingare they too soon or am I too late
oh is that soonly heaven knowswell I wanna knowtell me is that soonly heaven knowsheaven only knows
here come the romeos the brave I told you so'sthe travelling g.i. joes with come on lineshere come the great defenderswh think they can befriend uswhy do we all pretend to know these guys
well I don't wanna wait anymorebe late anymore -- hate anymore
heaven knows I'm impatientI can't control these hands of fateheaven knows I'm still waitingare they too soon or am I too late
oh is that soonly heaven knowswell I wanna knowtell me is that soonly heaven knowsheaven only knows

what a strange designit's a planet out of timesomeone tell me whyis the world like that
oh heaven knowsI said oh heaven knows
heaven knows I'm impatientI can't control these hands of fateheaven knows I'm still waitingare they too soon or am I too late
