You may wait until the end to know your story
You may find this final trip quite mundane and boring
You can wait until the end for any celebration
Of the short life that you'll live
Or the good that will endure
You may wait until the end to ask what love's for
Hold out to the end in hope of some great encore
You may wait until the end
It won't be long
You may anticipate the end with great devotion
You may worship and defend a source to every motion
You may bargain and pretend that all the little favors
Will be worth the trouble then
And promise something more
You may wait until the end to count your blessings
Hope until the end that the work was worth investing
You may wait until the end
But then you're gone
You may plot right to the end with careful measure
Grasp tight to the end, preserving all your treasure
You may curse at what you've had to do
Regret what you've been missing
Be bound to what you've done
And ask for nothing more
You may wait until the end to say you were mistaken
Hate right to the end to accept the path you've taken
You may wait until the end
It won't be long
