"I Don't Want To Wait (DEMO)" lyrics

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 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 I look at you 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, my love
All we have is this very moment
I don't want to 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 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?

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
