Song by Paula Cole<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 I <br>

<br>

She had two babies <br>

One was six months one was three <br>

In the war of '44 <br>

Every telephone ring <br>

Every heartbeat stinging <br>

When she thought it was God calling her <br>

Oh would her son grow to know his father <br>

<br>

[CHORUS:]<br>

<br>

I don't want to wait <br>

For our lives to be over <br>

I want to know right know <br>

What will it be <br>

I don't want to wait <br>

For our lives to be over <br>

Will it be yes or will it be <br>

Sorry <br>

<br>

He showed up all wet <br>

On the rainy front step <br>

Wearing shrapnel in his skin <br>

And the war he saw <br>

Lives inside him still <br>

It's so hard to be gentle and warm <br>

The years passed by and now <br>

He has granddaughters <br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

<br>

Oh so you look at me <br>

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>

Oh, so dig a little more deeply into my life <br>

All we have is the very moment <br>

And I don't want to do what <br>

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 I <br>

<br>

[Chorus (2 times)]<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<br>

<br>
