"Eye On The Finish Line" lyrics - PEDRO THE LION

Such an awful, tragic night
Though I've only done what's right
But even with my conscience clear
I can't help this flood of tears

[Chorus:]
I've got my eye on the finish line
Got my eye on the finish line
Got my eye on the finish line

Though I've been striving for their good
I will be misunderstood
Even my own darling dear
Misconstrued my words so clear

Given the time I think she would have understood
That it was for the greater good
Soon I will meet her at our mansion in the sky
Leaving this wicked world behind

[Outro:]
It's strange that it should end this way
But martyrs never have a say
