Willy Mason - end of the race lyrics

When they came in the night, they said they'd take what we like,

I said id wish you well, but I've been living like hell,

I don't have what you need, but I can tell you what I can see,

I close my eyes and go to sleep I feel the gun press to my cheek

I see the ocean rolling fast I see the grass I see the grass,

I see it swallow up the past I see the grass I see the grass,

I see there hands empty at last I see the grass I see the grass,

and all you ask me all you ask, all you ask, all you ask,

what have you got for me?

what have you got for me?

I knew that this day was coming on.

I woke at Thursday light, the suns still shining just as bright,

cuz yesterday as it seems, the world could end inside a dream,

I put on boots and went outside, the enemy still shooting wild,

If they believe what I see, they wouldn't shoot so thoughtlessly.

I see the ocean rolling fast I see the past I see the grass,

I see I see their hands empty at last I see the grass I see the grass,

I see it swallow up the past I see the grass I see the grass,

and all you ask me all you ask, all you ask, all you ask,

what have you got for me?

what have you got for me?

I knew that this day was coming so, why didn't you stop ruining your hands? their not too full to get away!

this aint gunna stop till something, cures you of all you wanted, until you loose you'll not give away.

Its time to make peace with this place!

call this the end of the race.
