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

G
She had two babies, one was six months, one was three
Cadd9
In the war of '44
G
Every telephone ring, every heartbeat stinging
Em7 Dsus4 Cadd9
When she thought it was God calling her
Em7 Dsus4 Cadd9
Oh, would her son grow to know his father?
[Chorus]
G Gsus2/F# Em7 Dsus4
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
Cadd9 G/B Am Dsus4
I want to know right now what will it be
G Gsus2/F# Em7 Dsus4
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
Cadd9 G/B Am Dsus4
Will it be yes or will it be sorry?

[Verse]
G
He showed up all wet on the rainy front step
Cadd9
Wearing shrapnel in his skin
G
And the war he saw lives inside him still
Em7 Dsus4 Cadd9
It's so hard to be gentle and warm
Em7 Dsus4 Cadd9
The years pass by and now he has granddaughters
[Chorus]
G Gsus2/F# Em7 Dsus4
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
Cadd9 G/B Am Dsus4
I want to know right now what will it be
G Gsus2/F# Em7 Dsus4
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
Cadd9 G/B Am Dsus4
Will it be yes or will it be sorry?
