HEAVEN KNOWS

All our architecture, all we ever could be

Has been taken by the river and carried out to sea

And the dust that was us has settled on the street

As the tired earth shook and cracked beneath our feet

Heaven knows why we try

Heaven knows why we try

But we try

Ooh, let's start a fire and see how fast it can burn

We're standing in silence, weighed by a thousand words

And the dust that was us is somewhere in the wind

Do you ever think we'll get it back again?

Heaven knows why we try

Heaven knows why we try

But we try, we try

Try, try

Don't forget there's more light than dark

Heaven knows why we try

Heaven knows why we try

Heaven knows why we try

Heaven knows why we try

Heaven knows why we try

But we try

Start a fire and see how fast we can burn
