Only The Thunder Songtext

All I want is someone to believe in But in who to believe is hard to define When some say the future is unwritten Some say the simple things in life are the best When all is dark and dusty down the tracks And all paths from exile have roadblocks on all points Saying "No, no way out of here, go back from where you came" And some say when you're down you fight the hardest Some tighten the belt while others let go Someone once said, if you don't ask you don't receive Someone showed me that written down in the back of a book And as I reach out and see my life unfold I tell you this because I truly believe in it Ask and you'll receive my friend Seek and you shall find Oh won't you help me now. Only the thunder knows What drives a man in his darkest throes Fortune and poverty They're oh so close, oh so close ONLY THE THUNDER KNOWS And some say everything must have a reason Some say everything will one day soon come to pass Some say that's life, that's the way the cards fall Someone once said the answer's blowin' in the wind And the word I seek to answer all my questions Is written down on everything I see It's in the words written on the subway walls The sounds filling the concert halls. Somebody tell me now Only the thunder knows What drives a man in his darkest throes Fortune and poverty They're oh so close, oh so close ONLY THE THUNDER KNOWS
