I Don’t Want To Wait

So open up your morn-ing light and
say a little prayer for I. You know that
if we are to stay alive, then
see the peace in every eye.
Du du du, etc.

She had two babies,
one was six months, one was three
C6/9
in the war of forty four.
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?
(repetir)
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
Will it be yes, or will it be sorry?
Du du du du du

He showed up all wet on the rainy front step
C6/9
wearing shrapnel in his skin.
And the war he saw linves inside him still.
It's so hard to be gentle and warm.
The years pass by and now he has granddaughters
Oh, 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 jaws of anger.
Oh, so breath 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 fater did. I want to be here now.
