Tell Me How It Ends

"You told us all a story A story full of fury, a story of regret You told us every legend of how it all began You never did tell me how it ends You told me what would happen If I carried down this road, just around the bend You told me to abandon my family and my friends You never did tell me how it ends So if you could only tell me I'd get up off the sidewalk and try it all again I'd speak up for the people nobody could defend Remember our history books, embedded with our sins And write a final coda on which we could depend If you would only tell me how it ends Tell me how it ends, oh I can keep a secret I feel it coming just beyond my sight I don't need a map or a crystal ball to see it Just tell me if it ends up alright Tell me how it ends, oh I can keep a secret This body's going down without a fight I don't need a map or a crystal ball to see it Just tell me if it ends up alright Tell me how it ends, oh I can keep a secret Twenty years I've waited on a sign I don't need a map or a crystal ball to see it Just tell me if it ends up alright Just tell me if it ends up alright Just tell me if it ends up alright Just tell me if it ends" --- Tell Me How It Ends - David Wirsig
