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

  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 ..
