[00:01.04]So open up your morning light
[00:04.00]And say a little prayer for I
[00:06.48]You know that if we are to stay alive
[00:09.37]Then see the peace in every eye
[00:12.99]
[00:33.63]She had two babies, one was six months, one was three
[00:38.94]In the war of ’44
[00:44.23]Every telephone ring, every heartbeat stinging
[00:48.81]When she thought it was God calling her
[00:54.20]Oh, would her son grow to know his father?
[01:00.38]
[01:02.61]I don’t want to to wait for our lives to be over
[01:08.23]I want to know right now what will it be
[01:13.67]I don’t want to wait for our lives to be over
[01:18.66]Will it be yes or will it be sorry?
[01:22.86]
[01:36.03]He showed up all wet on the rainy front step
[01:41.32]Wearing shrapnel in his skin
[01:46.98]And the war he saw lives inside him still
[01:51.50]It’s so hard to be gentle and warm
[01:56.50]The years pass by and now he has granddaughters
[02:02.19]
[02:05.33]I don’t want to wait for our lives to be over
[02:10.37]I want to know right now what will it be
[02:15.77]I don’t want to wait for our lives to be over
[02:21.09]Will it be yes or will it be?
[02:26.63]So you look at me from across the room
[02:32.08]You’re wearing your anguish again
[02:37.69]Believe me I know the feeling
[02:40.57]It sucks you into the jaws of anger
[02:46.08]
[02:49.14]So breathe a little more deeply my love
[02:53.34]All we have is this very moment
[02:59.24]And I don’t want to do what his father
[03:01.47]And his father, and his father did
[03:03.55]I want to be here now
[03:07.93]
[03:10.19]So open up your morning light
[03:12.88]And say a little prayer for I
[03:15.24]You know that if we are to stay alive
[03:18.17]Then see the love in every eye
[03:21.10]I don’t want to wait for our lives to be over
[03:26.47]I want to know right now what will it be
[03:32.08]I don’t want to wait for our lives to be over
[03:37.12]Will it be yes or will it be?
[03:43.07]I don’t want to wait for our lives to be over
[03:48.30]I want to know right now what will it be
[03:53.96]I don’t want to wait for our lives to be over
[03:59.24]Will it be yes or will it be sorry?
[04:05.09]
[04:26.46]So open up your morning light
[04:29.17]And say a little prayer for I
[04:31.58]You know that if we are to stay alive
[04:35.04]Then see the love in every eye
