Song facts

“Oh Will It All End Here?” is the fourth track of the first movement – entitled “War” – of Paul McCartney’s Liverpool Oratorio, released in 1991.

I: WAR. 1942. A world at war. Sirens sound as bombs fall over Liverpool and despairing couples shelter underground. Amid the blaze and the chaos of an air raid, a child is born. And there is hope.

Lyrics

SHANTY
Oh will it all end here?
Or is their future round the corner?
You'll be forgiven if you're down on
your knees.
What will it be what will it?
What will we be what will we?
What will we see what will we see?

They stay in darkness underground
Until they hear the All Clear sound
And weary eyes will search the sky
For any sign of sunlight,
For any sign of sunlight.
