Paula Cole Band - I Don't Want To Wait lyrics
rate meSo open up your morning light<br />
And say a little prayer for I<br />
You know that if we are to stay alive<br />
And see the peace in every eye<br />
<br />
She had two babies, one was six months, one was three<br />
In the war of forty four<br />
Everytime phone ring, every heartbeat stinging<br />
When she thought it was God calling her<br />
Oh, would her son grow to know his father?<br />
<br />
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over<br />
I want to know, right now, what will it be<br />
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over<br />
Will it be yes or will it be sorry?<br />
<br />
He showed up all wet on the rainy front step<br />
Wearing shrapnel in his skin<br />
And the war he saw lives inside him still<br />
It's so hard to be gentle and warm<br />
The years pass by and now he has granddaughters<br />
<br />
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over<br />
I want to know, right now, what will it be<br />
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over<br />
Will it be yes or will it be?<br />
<br />
Oh, so you look at me from across the room<br />
You're wearing your anguish again<br />
Believe me, I know the feeling<br />
It sucks you into the jaws of anger<br />
<br />
Oh, so breathe a little more deeply, my love<br />
All we have is this very moment<br />
And I don't want to do what his father and his father and his father did<br />
I want to be here now<br />
<br />
So open up your morning light<br />
And say a little prayer for I<br />
You know that if we are to stay alive<br />
And see the peace in every eye<br />
<br />
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over<br />
I want to know, right now, what will it be<br />
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over<br />
Will it be yes or will it be?<br />
<br />
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over<br />
I want to know, right now, what will it be<br />
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over<br />
Will it be yes or will it be sorry?<br />
<br />
So open up your morning light<br />
And say a little prayer for I<br />
You know that if we are to stay alive<br />
And see the love in every eye
