I Don't Want to Wait
[00:00.96] So open up your morning light
[00:03.08] And say a little prayer for I
[00:05.74] You know that if we are to stay alive
[00:08.93] Then see the peace in every eye
[00:33.10] She had two babies, one was six months, one was three
[00:38.96] In the war of '44
[00:44.26] Every telephone ring, every heartbeat stinging
[00:49.04] When she thought it was God calling her
[00:54.35] Oh, would her son grow to know his father?
[01:02.35] I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
[01:07.41] I want to know right now what will it be
[01:13.51] I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
[01:18.56] Will it be yes or will it be sorry?
[01:34.76] He showed up all wet on the rainy front step
[01:41.14] Wearing shrapnel in his skin
[01:46.19] And the war he saw lives inside him still
[01:50.96] It's so hard to be gentle and warm
[01:56.28] The years pass by, and now, he has granddaughters
[02:05.04] I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
[02:09.82] I want to know right now what will it be
[02:15.67] I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
[02:20.98] Will it be yes or will it be...
[02:26.02] Oh, so you look at me from across the room
[02:31.34] You're wearing your anguish again
[02:37.45] Believe me, I know the feeling
[02:39.85] It sucks you into the jaws of anger
[02:47.57] Oh, so breathe a little more deeply
[02:53.14] All we have is this very moment
[02:58.98] And I don't want to do what his father, and his father, and his father did
[03:03.24] I want to be here now
[03:09.89] So open up your morning light
[03:12.27] And say a little prayer for I
[03:14.93] You know that if we are to stay alive
[03:17.85] Then see the peace in every eye
[03:20.77] I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
[03:25.55] I want to know right now what will it be
[03:31.41] I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
[03:36.48] Will it be yes or will it be...
[03:42.33] I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
[03:47.37] I want to know right now what will it be
[03:53.21] I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
[03:58.52] Will it be yes or will it be sorry?
[04:25.36] So open up your morning light
[04:28.55] And say a little prayer for I
[04:30.68] You know that if we are to stay alive
[04:33.86] Then see the love in every eye
