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

 She had two babies
 One was six months one was three
 In the war of '44
 Every telephone ring
 Every heartbeat sting
 When she thought it was God calling her
 Oh would her son grow to know his father

 CHORUS:

 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 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 passed by and now
 He had granddaughters

 Chorus

 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 dig a little more deeply,
 All we have is the 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

 Chorus (2 times)

 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 love in every eye
