I Don't Want To Wait Lyrics - Singles - Damien

So open up your morning light, 

And say a little prayer for right 

You know that if we are to stay alive 

Then see the peace in every eye... 

doo doo doo doo do doo do 

do do doo doo doo doo dooo doo ooh 

She had two babies, one was six months, one was three 

In the war of '44... 

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? 

I don't want to wait for our lives to be over, 

Will it be yes or will it be...sorry? 

doo doo oooh doo ooh do do ooh 

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 pass by and now he has granddaughters 

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? 

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(oooooooh) 

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 right 

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...sorry? 

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? 

doo doo doo dooo oooh do dooo doo 

doo doo doo dooo do doooo oooh 

doo doo doo do dooo do do 

So open up your morning light, 

And say a little prayer for right 

You know that if we are to stay alive 

Then see the love in every eye
