I Don't Wanna Wait

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I don't wanna wait

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
