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 from

And some say when you’re down you fight the hardest
Some tighten the belt 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

Only the thunder knows
What drives a man in his darkest throes
Fortune and poverty
They’re so close so close.
Only the thunder

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.

Only the thunder knows
What drives a man in his darkest throes
Fortune and poverty
They’re so close so close.
Only the thunder

I know you’re out there in this world my friend
I know I’ll find you
I know I’ll find you

I’ll be searching all night through the thunder and rain
One day I’ll find you
One day I’ll find you

Only the thunder knows
What drives a man in his darkest throes
Fortune and poverty
They’re so close so close.
Only the thunder

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
