Last Night on Earth
by Michael Omartian

Album: The Race

I tell myself that this was all a dream,
That woke me up last night,
Couldn't tell my left from right,
Or anything in between,
I saw myself as wise in their eyes,
I looked my very best,
But in my dream I was a broken man,
Who failed the final test.
And everyone turned away,
I was so alone,
You're facin' the judgment day,
When my soul's called home.

Chorus 1:
When I leave this place,
Will I leave a trace of things I've done?
What about love?
Have I made a place in the race I've run?
It scared me so I took to my knees,
And asked the Lord for help,
To let me see myself,
And who I Was called to be,
I thought about the truth I believed,
Was I really tryin'
And if my light was shining,
For the world outside to see.

Bridge 2:
Don't go and throw your life away,
I'll be on my own,
You're facin' the judgment day,
When my soul's called home.

Chorus 2:
When I leave this place,
Will I see the faces of the ones I love?
For my last night on earth,
Will they know I ran my race and won?
