So open up your morning light
|
And Say a little prayer tonight
|
You know that if we are to stay alive
|
To see the peace in every eye

She had two babies
|
One was 6 plus one was 3
|
In the wa of '44
|
Every time the phone rang
|
Every heart beat stinging
|
As she thought it was GOD calling her
|
Oh would her son grow to know his father?
|
|
I don't wanna wait
|
For our lives to be over
|
I want to know right now
|
What will it be
|
I don't wanna wait
|
For our lives to over
|
Will it be yes or will it be
|
Sorry?

He showed up all wet
|
On the rainy front porch step
|
Wearing shrapnals 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 grand-daughters
|
|
I don't wanna wait
|
For our lives to be over
|
I want to know right now
|
What will it be
|
I don't wanna wait
|
For our lives to be over
|
Will it be yes or will it be
|
Sorry?
|
|
Oh so you 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
|
Oh, so dig a little more deeply, my love
|
All we have is the 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 you morning light
|
And say a little prayer tonight
|
You konw that if we are to stay alive
|
To see the peace in every eye
|
|
I don't wanna wait
|
For our lives to be over
|
I want to know right now
|
What will it be
|
I don't wanna wait
|
For our lives to over
|
Will it be yes or will it be
|
|
I don't wanna wait
|
For our lives to be over
|
I want to know right now
|
What will it be
|
I don't wanna wait
|
For our lives to over
|
Will it be yes or will it be
|
Sorry?
|
|
So open up you morning light
|
And say a little prayer tonight
|
You konw that if we are to stay alive
|
To see the love in every eye
