Paula Cole - I Don't Wanna Wait lyrics

[Intro] 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... [Verse 1] She had two babies, one was six months, one was three In the war of '44... Every telephone ring, every heartbeat stinging When she thought it was God calling her [Pre-Chorus] Oh, would her son grow to know his father? [Chorus] I don't want to wait for our lives to be over, I want to know right now what will it be I don't want to wait for our lives to be over, Will it be yes or will it be... Sorry... ! [Verse 2] He showed up all wet on the rainy front step Wearing shrapnel in his skin And the war he saw live inside him still, It's so hard to be gentle and warm The years pa** by and now he has granddaughters [Chorus] I don't want to wait for our lives to be over, I want to know right now what will it be I don't want to wait for our lives to be over, Will it be yes or will it be... [Verse 3] So look at me from across the room You're wearing your anguish again Believe me I know the feeling It s**s you into the jaws of anger So breathe a little more deeply All we have is this very moment And I don't want to do what his father, And his father, and his father did, I want to be here now [Bridge] 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... [Chorus] I don't want to wait for our lives to be over, I want to know right now what will it be I don't want to wait for our lives to be over, Will it be yes or will it be... I don't want to wait for our lives to be over, I want to know right now what will it be I don't want to wait for our lives to be over, Will it be yes or will it be... Sorry? [Outro] So open up your morning light, And say a little prayer for right You know that if we are to stay alive, Then see the love in every eye...
