(VerseA) I sometimes wonder how Things have gone so horribly wrong In the past and also now What made it all go wrong (VerseB) Under the stars, I pray for something new A fresh start, making things right Against all knowledge, but hopefully true Trying to see the world into God's light (Chorus) I always try to do the right thing Be respectful, honest and sincere I'm a good man, I'd like to think Now, take my advice or don't It's not about pleasing everyone But about being true to yourself If you can't see, only heaven knows why Heaven knows why (VerseC) I can't tolerate their anger and fear Such low emotions, so very weak This world doesn't need to be in fear It's making this world so bleak (VerseD) Under the moon, I pray for someone new That one person, making things right Against all knowledge, but hopefully true Getting rid of my fear, out of the night (Chorus) I always try to do the right thing Be respectful, honest and sincere I'm a good man, I'd like to think Now, take my advice or don't It's not about pleasing everyone But about being true to yourself If you can't see, only heaven knows why Heaven knows why (BridgeA) Life doesn't always go the way we want A lot of things go well, some just don't That's how life goes, essentially But it's not the end, take it from me I've been through a lot of things When nothing was what it seemed Seen a lot of card towers collapse And I won't let it get the better of me (BridgeB) You can close your eyes For all the things you don't want to see Staying blind for the truth and the lies But that makes you a prisoner, you see (BridgeC) Under the sun, I pray for one more time There'll be a time when all is right Against all odds, but still coming through Settling the score, now I am the light (Chorus) I always try to do the right thing Be respectful, honest and sincere I'm a good man, I'd like to think Now, take my advice or don't It's not about pleasing everyone But about being true to yourself If you can't see, only heaven knows why Heaven knows why
