I Don't Want To Wait

作曲：P. Cole

So open up your morning light

And say a little prayer for I

You know that if we are to stay alive

Then see the peace in every eye

She had two babies

One was six months

One was three in the war of forty four

Every telephone ring

Every heartbeat stinging

When she thought it was god calling her

Oh would her son grow to know his father

I don't want to wait for our lives to be over

I want to know right now what will it be

La la la la la

I don't want to wait for our lives to be over

Will it be yes or will it be

Sorry do do do do do do

He showed up all wet

On the rainy front step

Wearing shrapnel in his skin

Hmm in the war he saw lives inside him still

It's so hard to be gentle and warm

The years passed by and now he has granddaughters

I don't want to wait for our lives to be over

I want to know right now what will it be

La la la la la

I don't want to wait for our lives to be over

Will it be yes or will it be

Oh so you look at me from across the room

You're wearing your anguish again

Believe me I know the feeling

It sucks you into the jaws of anger

Oh so breathe a little more deeply

All we have is this very moment

I don't wanna do what his father

His father his father did

I wanna be here now

So open up your morning light

And say a little prayer for I

You know that if we are to stay alive

And see the peace in every eye

I don't want to wait

For our lives to be over

I want to know right now what will it be

La la la la

I don't wanna wait la la la for our lives to be over

Will it be yes or will it be

La la la la la

I don't want to wait

For our lives to be over

I want to know right now what will it be la la la la la

I don't want to wait for our lives to be over

Will it be yes or will it be sorry

So open up your morning light

And say a little prayer for I

You know that if we are to stay alive

Then see the love in every eye
