The Alarm Only the Thunder Lyrics

All I want is someone to believe in
But 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 youre down you fight the hardest
Some tighten the belt others let go
Someone once said, if you dont ask you dont 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 youll receive my friend
Seek and you shall find
Oh wont you help me now.

Only the thunder knows
What drives a man in his darkest throes
Fortune and poverty
Theyre oh so close, oh 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 thats life, thats the way the cards fall
Someone once said the answers blowin in the wind
And the word I seek to answer all my questions

Is written down on everything I see
Its in the words written on the subway walls
Its filling the concert halls.

Only the thunder knows
What drives a man in his darkest throes
Fortune and poverty
Theyre oh so close, oh so close
Only the thunder

I know youre out there in this world my friend
I know Ill find you, I know Ill find you
Ill be searching all night through the thunder and rain
One day Ill find you, one day Ill find you

Oh wont you help me now

Only the thunder knows
What drives a man in his darkest throes
Fortune and poverty
Theyre oh so close, oh so close
Only the thunder
Only the thunder
