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
