☆ I Don’t Want To Wait by- December Avenue

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 44
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
I don’t want to wait
for our lives to be over
Will it be yes or will it be sorry

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 pass 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
I don’t want to wait
for our lives to be over
Will it be yes or will it be
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
So breathe a little more
deeply my love
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
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
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

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
