Only Heaven Knows
by Eli

Album: Gratitude

In the blink of an eye, life is relieved
And it shatters our thoughts what we believe
Children who suffer, lost in their need
And hopeless young mothers helplessly grieve

Only heaven knows, only heaven
Only heaven knows, only heaven
Only heaven knows, only heaven
Only heaven knows

For those who've lost their mind, prisoners in deed
The restless and shameful, souls we can't reach
The cripples and killers, under the same sky
And the same rain will fall on both of them tonight

Only heaven knows, only heaven
Only heaven knows, only heaven
Only heaven knows, only heaven
Only heaven knows, only heaven

Why a woman gets beat
Why an old man walks the street
Why a night seems so long
Why a father leaves
Why the angels grieve
We should know right from wrong

And why would a King lay down His crown
Eat with the peasants, sleep on the ground
Hand us His kingdom to any who believe
Then willingly die just like a thief

Only heaven knows, only heaven
Only heaven knows, only heaven
Only heaven knows, only heaven
Only heaven knows, only heaven

Only heaven knows, only heaven
Only heaven knows, only heaven
Only heaven knows, only heaven
Only heaven knows, stop pretending
