SHE HAD TWO BABIES
ONE WAS SIX MONTHS
ONE WAS THREE
IN THE WAR OF
FORTY-FOUR
EVERY TELEPHONE RING
EVERY HEARTBEAT
STINGING
WHEN SHE THOUGHT
THAT 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

HE SHOWED UP ALL WET
ON THE RAINY
FRONT STEP
WEARING SHRAPNEL
IN HIS SKIN
AND THE WAR HE SAW
LIVES INSIDE HIM STILL
YOU KNOW IT'S HARD
TO BE GENTLE
AND WARM
THE YEARS PASS BY
AND NOW HE HAS
GRANDAUGHTERS
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 YOU LOOK AT ME
FROM ACROSS
THE ROOM
YOU'RE WEARING
YOUR ANGUISH AGAIN
BELIEVE ME
I KNOW THE FEELING
IT SUCKS YA
INTO THE JAWS
OF ANGER
OH SO BREATHE
A LITTLE MORE DEEPLY
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
SAY A LITTLE PRAYER
FOR I
