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 



(Do do do do do do do .. do do do do do do do) 



She had two babies 

One was 6 months one was 3 

In the war of '44 

Every time the phone rang 

Every heartbeat stinging when she thought it was gone it only hurt 

Oh would her son grow to know his father? 



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

I want to know right now what will it be 

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

Well in the end oh will it be ... sorry 



(Do do do do do do do .. do do do do do do do) 



He showed up all wet 

On the rainy front step 

Wearing shrapnel in his skin 

And the war he saw lives inside him still 

It's so hard to be gentle and warm 

The years passed by and now he had a grand-daughter 



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

I want to know right now what will it be 

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

Well in the air so will it be ... 



Oooh 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 doors of anger 



Oooh so dig a little more deeply 

All we have is this very moment 

And I don't wanna do what his father 

and his father and 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 wanna wait for our lives to be over 

I want to know right now what will it be 

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

Well in the air so will it be ... 



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

I want to know right now what will it be 

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

Well in the air so will it be ... 



(Do do do do do do do .. do do do do do do do) 



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 love in every eye
