[ti:I Don't Wanna Wait]
[ar:Paula Cole]

I DON'T WANNA WAIT
[00:01]So open up your morning light,
[00:02]And say a little prayer for I.
[00:04]you know that if we are to stay alive.
[00:08]Then see the peace in every eye.
[00:33]She had two babies. 
[00:35]One was six months, one was three
[00:38]In the war of '44.
[00:44]Every telephone ring, every heartbeat stinging
[00:47]When she thought it was God calling her.
[00:53]Oh would her son grow to know his father?
[01:01][02:04][03:19]I don't wanna wait for our lives to be over,
[01:07][02:09][03:24]I want to know right now what will it be.
[01:12][02:14][03:29]I don't wanna wait for our lives to be over,
[01:17][02:21][03:36]Will it be yes or will it be sorry?
[01:34]He showed up all wet on the rainy front step.
[01:40]Wearing shrapnel in his skin.
[01:45]And the war he saw lives inside him still,
[01:49]It's so hard to be gentle and warm.
[01:54]The years pass by and now he has granddaughters
[02:25]You look at me from across the room
[02:31]You're wearing your anguish again
[02:36]Believe me I know the feeling
[02:38]It sucks you into the jaws of anger.
[02:47]So breathe a little more deeply
[02:52]All we have is this very moment
[02:57]And I don't want to do what his father,
[02:59]and his father, and his father did,
[03:01]I want to be here now.
[03:08]So open up your morning light,
[03:11]And say a little prayer for I
[03:13]You know that if we are to stay alive,
[03:17]Then see the love in every eye.+
