David Wirsig - 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"
