I Don't Want to Wait |
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 |
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 |
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 |
