Lyrics:

So open up your morning light,**lf**And say a little prayer for I.**lf**you know that if we are to stay alive.**lf**Then see the peace in every eye.**lf****lf**She had two babies. One was six months, one was three**lf**In the war of ''44.**lf**Every telephone ring, every heartbeat stinging**lf**When she thought it was God calling her.**lf**Oh would her son grow to know his father?**lf****lf**(chorus)**lf**I don''t want to to wait for our lives to be over,**lf**I want to know right now what will it be.**lf**I don''t want to wait for our lives to be over, **lf**Will it be yes or will it be sorry?**lf****lf**He showed up all wet on the rainy front step.**lf**Wearing shrapnel in his skin.**lf**And the war he saw lives inside him still,**lf**It''s so hard to be gentle and warm.**lf**The years pass by and now he has granddaughters**lf****lf**(chorus)**lf****lf**You look at me from across the room**lf**You''re wearing your anguish again**lf**Believe me I know the feeling**lf**It sucks you into the jaws of anger.**lf**So breathe a little more deeply my love**lf**All we have is this very moment**lf**And I don''t want to do what his father,**lf**and his father, and his father did,**lf**I want to be here now.**lf****lf**So open up your morning light,**lf**And say a little prayer for I**lf**You know that if we are to stay alive,**lf**Then see the love in every eye.
