i watch the world go round and round
and my life goes by at the speed of sound
i walk the night
and i wonder just where i belong
oh
my heart is young
but my soul is old
i've never been one to do what i was told
my back to the wall
is the only place i can feel strong
oh
heaven only knows what lies before me
heaven only knows what all my searching is for
all my life i've waited for a miracle
but i can't ask for anything more
i like to think i'm a faithful man
to resist desire
i do all i can
i hope to die in the arms of the woman i love
oh
i've always wondered how to know right from wrong
looking for a reason to replace what is gone
but somehow the road just seems to lead right back to me
