I don't wanna wait Lyrics

Dido > I don't wanna wait

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

(Do do do do do do do .. do do do do do do do)

She had two babies
One was 6 months one was 3
In the war of '44
Every time the phone rang
Every heartbeat stinging when she thought it was gone it only hurt
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

(Do do do do do do do .. do do do do do do do)

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 a grand-daughter

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...

Oooh 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 doors of anger

Oooh so dig a little more deeply
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

(2x)
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
