Lord Only Knows
Hand reached up
out of hell today
grabbed me by the soul
the devil whispered
come with me
show you the way back home
In my mind
I see my past
In your eyes
I see my future
In my dreams
I see my own demise
By my fearful weakened nature
Hand reached up
for me today
showed me where to go
the devil whispered
in my ear
what he said, lord only knows
In my lungs
I feel a quart of blood
In my heart
I feel a leak
In my soul
I fear a worse tomorrow
I'm afraid to rise and see
The devil boxed my ear today
I reeled and hit the mat
Then fell into a lake of ice
And felt alive at last
Revitalized I rose again
And threw the final blow
I sent him back from where he came
now they know my name back home
In my head, I hear a sea of voices
In my ear
I hear just yours
In my dreams
I see a golden future
If it's real, lord only knows.
