Lyrics In the End - Young Dubliners

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
