Eye on the Finish Line Lyrics

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

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

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