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
STINGING
WHEN SHE THOUGHT
IT WAS GOD
CALLING HER
OH
WOULD HER SON
GROW TO KNOW
HIS FATHER
I DON'T WANNA WAIT
FOR OUR LIVES
TO BE OVER
I WANT TO KNOW
RIGHT NOW
WHAT WILL IT BE
I DON'T WANNA 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 PASS BY
AND NOW HE HAS
GRANDDAUGHTERS
I DON'T WANNA WAIT
FOR OUR LIVES
TO BE OVER
I WANT TO KNOW
RIGHT NOW
WHAT WILL IT BE
I DON'T WANNA 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 WANNA DO
WHAT HIS FATHER AND
HIS FATHER AND
HIS FATHER DID
I WANNA 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 WANNA WAIT
FOR OUR LIVES
TO BE OVER
I WANT TO KNOW
RIGHT NOW
WHAT WILL IT BE
I DON'T WANNA WAIT
FOR OUR LIVES
TO BE OVER
WILL IT BE YES
OR WILL IT BE
I DON'T WANNA WAIT
FOR OUR LIVES
TO BE OVER
I WANT TO KNOW
RIGHT NOW
WHAT WILL IT BE
I DON'T WANNA 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
