In the End - Young Dubliners

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
