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

oh is that soonly heaven knowswell I wanna knowtell

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
