Willy Mason - The End of the Race lyrics

when they came in the night, they said we take what we like i said i wish you well, but i've been living like hell i don't have what you need, but i can tell you what i see i close my eyes to go to sleep, i feel a gun pressed to my cheek i see the ocean rolling fast, i see the gra** i see the gra** see it swallow up the past, i see the gra** i see the gra** see the hands empty at last, i see the gra** i see the gra** but all you ask me all you ask, all you ask all you ask what have you got for me??????? you knew that this day was coming on, i woke at first daylight the sun still shining just as bright, as yesterday when it seemed the world could end inside a dream i put on boots and went outside the enemy is still shooting wide if they'd believe what i see they wouldn't shoot so thoughtlessly i see the ocean.... what have you got for me???? you knew that this day was coming so why didn't you start running your hands are now too full to get a way and this ain't gonna stop till something cures you of all your wanting until you lose what you won't give away its time to make peace with this place call this the end of the race
