[Verse 1]
Heaven knows I wonder
Why bad things happen to really good people
Like airplanes crashing, it's hard to imagine
There's a reason for that

[Verse 2]
And Heaven knows I stumble
It don't make any sense why cancer took my daddy
Even though he never smoked a cigarette
Where is the justice in that?

Now I've decided that I can't fight it...

[Chorus]
Heaven knows, it's way beyond my control
And so I'm trying to let go
And understand, that I didn't make this plan
This crazy life has shown me
That even when I don't, Heaven knows

[Verse 3]
Heaven knows my sins, all my regrets
And I bet God is laughing
'Cause I keep planning big things for myself
When it's out of my hands!
Yeah, I've decided I kinda like it...

[Chorus]
Heaven knows, it's way beyond my control
And so I'm trying to let go...
And understand, that I didn't make this plan
This crazy life has shown me
That even when I don't, Heaven knows!
Heaven knows

[Chorus/Outro]
I understand that I didn't make this plan
This crazy life has shown me
That even when I don't, Heaven knows
This crazy life has shown me
That even when I don't, Heaven knows
