Paula Cole Band - I Don't Want To Wait lyrics

rate me

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 />

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
