| So open up your morning light
|
| And say a little prayer for I
|
| You know that if we are to stay alive
|
| Then see the peace in every eye

| She had two babies, one was six months, one was three
|
| In the war of '44
|
| Every telephone ring, every heartbeat stinging
|
| When she thought it was God calling her
|
| Oh, would her son grow to know his father?
|
| I don’t want to wait for our lives to be over
|
| I want to know right now what will it be
|
| I don’t want to wait for our lives to be over
|
| Will it be yes or will it be sorry
|
| Doo doo doo doooo
|
| Doo doo doo doooo
|
| Doo doo doo doo doooo

| He showed up all wet on the rainy front step
|
| Wearing shrapnel in his skin
|
| And the war he saw lives inside him still
|
| It’s so hard to be gentle and warm
|
| The years pass by and now he has granddaughters
|
| I don’t want to wait for our lives to be over
|
| I want to know right now what will it be
|
| I don’t want to wait for our lives to be over
|
| Will it be yes or will it be
|
| Ohhh, so look at me from across the room
|
| You’re wearing your anguish again
|
| Believe me I know the feeling
|
| It sucks you into the jaws of anger
|
| Ohhh, so breathe a little more deeply
|
| All we have is this very moment
|
| And I don’t want to do what his father
|
| And his father, and his father did
|
| I want to be here now
|
| So open up your morning light
|
| And say a little prayer for I
|
| You know that if we are to stay alive
|
| Then see the peace in every eye
|
| I don’t want to wait for our lives to be over
|
| I want to know right now what will it be
|
| I don’t want to wait for our lives to be over
|
| Will it be yes or will it be
|
| I don’t want to wait for our lives to be over
|
| I want to know right now what will it be
|
| I don’t want to wait for our lives to be over
|
| Will it be yes or will it be sorry

| Doo doo doo doooo
|
| Doo doo doo doooo
|
| Doo doo doo doo doooo
|
| Doo doo doo doooo
|
| Doo doo doo doooo
|
| Doo doo doo doo doooo
|
| So open up your morning light
|
| And say a little prayer for I
|
| You know that if we are to stay alive
|
| Then see the love in every eye |
