In the End

For all of our wars
what have we won
we drank up the world
now that we're done

where can we go
what have we left
a big empty shell
in a big empty nest

Please don't run don't turn away
children's eyes beg us to stay
this time
no more strangers only a friend
we'll all go together in the end

with all of their tears
a nation cries
we offer them words
talk till they die

where can they go
who can they trust
say that we'll help
then help them we must

Please don't run don't turn away
children's eyes beg us to stay
this time
no more strangers only a friend
we'll all go together in the end

We're losing time
we must be out of our minds hopelessly
floating on by
are we willing to try

with all of our will
we'll start tonight
pick up the world
set it down right

Never too soon
never to late
goes on forever
the longer we wait

Please don't run don't turn away
children's eyes beg us to stay
this time
no more strangers only a friend
we'll all go together in the end
