"I Don't Want To Wait" lyrics

Paula Cole Lyrics

"I Don't Want To Wait"

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

Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo

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 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
Will it be yes or will it be... sorry?

Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo

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 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
Will it be yes or will it be?

Oh, so 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
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
Then 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
Will it be yes or 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
Will it be yes or will it be sorry?

Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo

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
