[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
