Lyrics

Heaven Knows

Don't you think heaven knows
How you've been
Don't you think heaven knows
How you really are
Don't you think heaven knows
How it goes
I for one
Suppose heaven knows

Don't you think heaven knows
What you've seen
Don't you think heaven knows
What you really mean
Don't you think heaven knows
What you dream
I for one
Suppose heaven knows

Think of all the times you told a lie
Heaven knows the reason why
And looking back on things you should have done
And the times that you can't undo
Don't you know that's what makes the angels sing
In a chorus just for you
If you don't believe take a look inside
At whatever has gone wrong
You will see all things that cannot hide
And begin to hear -
and sing your song
(echoes options)
Don't you think heaven knows
When you cry Dry your teary eyes
Don't you think heaven knows
How you try and try Know how hard you try
Don't you think heaven knows
Reasons why You and I know why
I, for one,
Suppose heaven knows Suppose heaven knows

Don't you think heaven knows
Who you are You are who you are
Don't you think heaven knows
Who you really are You have always been
Don't you think heaven knows
That for sure Once you know for sure
I for one
Suppose heaven knows You will always be
(extra verse option) (echo options)

Don't you think heaven knows
What you do Knows what you do
Don't you think heaven knows
All that you've been through All you've been through
Don't you think heaven knows
What is true Heaven knows the truth
I for one
Suppose Heaven knows Heaven knows


(Counterpoint options for final verse)

How did I get here? Why am I alive?
How in the world does a person survive?
Questions and answers I find hard to find
Heaven knows all I'm looking for is peace of mind

(second bridge option)

All the times you've felt lost and alone
While you searched and wondered why
In the darkest moment you were shown
Another avenue to try
Don't you know every road that you've been on
Has been laid out just for you
The directions and turns that you have made
Even though they have come and gone
Have been witnessed, noted and approved
As you make your way--
and carry on
