So open up your morning (1)_____
And say a little (2)______ for I
You know that if we are to stay (3)_____
And see the peace in every (4)___

She had two (5)______
One was six (6)______ one was three
In the war of '44
Every (7)_________ ring
Every (8)_________ stinging
When thought it was God (9)_______ her
Oh would her son (10)____ 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 (11)______ up all (12)___
On the rainy (13)_____ step
Wearing shrapnel in his (14)____
And the (15)___ he saw
Lives (16)______ him still
It's so hard to be (17)______ and warm
The years (18)______ by and now
He has (19)______________

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

Oh, so breathe 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 father did
I want to 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 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

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 love in every eye
