I Don`t Want To Wait Lyrics

I Don`t Want To Wait lyrics

So open up your morning light 
And say a little prayer for I 
You know that if we are to stay alive 
And 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 

CHORUS: 

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?

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 passed by and now 
He has granddaughters 

Chorus 

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 into my life 
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 your morning light 
And say a little prayer for I 
You know that if we are to stay alive 
And see the peace in every eye

Chorus 

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