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
