Heaven Knows
Anouk · Hotel New York
We cannot forget
The ones that we have loved
The ones we left behind
Don’t be afraid to reach out
This world is changing fast
For those who take a stand
Heaven knows
We grieve in our life
Don’t let us pay the price (grief in our life, grief in our life)
So much grief in our life
It will fade over time (grief in our life, grief in our life)
Yeah to this generation
It’s hard to get along
And we cannot deny
The struggles through this life
It won’t do no good to wait
We’re running out of time
For those who take a stand
Heaven knows
We grieve in our life
Don’t let us pay the price (grief in our life, grief in our life)
So much grief in our life
It will fade over time (grief in our life, grief in our life)
Guilty for we turn the other cheek
Guilty for not willing to achieve
Come on happiness what’s keeping you so long
How can we forget
Yeah yeah yeah
We grieve in our life
Don’t let us pay the price (grief in our life, grief in our life)
Yes we grieve in our life
It will fade over time (grief in our life, grief in our life)
Yes we grieve in our life
It will fade over time
We grieve in our life
Don’t let us pay the price
Oh yeah
