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 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 has a granddaughter
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 you into the jaws of anger
Oh, so breathe a little more deeply my love
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
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 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
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?
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
So open up your morning light
Así que abre tu luz matutina
And say a little prayer for I
Y di una pequeña oración por mí
You know that if we are to stay alive
Sabes que si queremos seguir vivos
And see the peace in every eye
Y ver la paz en cada ojo
She had two babies
Ella tuvo dos bebés
One was six months one was three
Uno tenía seis meses y el otro tres
In the war of '44
En la guerra del '44
Every telephone ring
Cada timbre de teléfono
Every heartbeat stinging
Cada latido punzante
When she thought it was God calling her
Cuando ella pensaba que era Dios llamándola
Oh, would her son grow to know his father
Oh, ¿llegaría su hijo a conocer a su padre?
I don't want to wait
No quiero esperar
For our lives to be over
Para que nuestras vidas terminen
I want to know right now
Quiero saber ahora mismo
What will it be
¿Qué será?
I don't want to wait
No quiero esperar
For our lives to be over
Para que nuestras vidas terminen
Will it be yes or will it be sorry?
¿Será sí o será lo siento?
He showed up all wet
Apareció todo mojado
On the rainy front step
En el escalón delantero lluvioso
Wearing shrapnel in his skin
Llevando metralla en su piel
And the war he saw
Y la guerra que vio
Lives inside him still
Todavía vive dentro de él
It's so hard to be gentle and warm
Es tan difícil ser gentil y cálido
The years passed by and now
Los años pasaron y ahora
He has a granddaughter
Tiene una nieta
I don't want to wait
No quiero esperar
For our lives to be over
Para que nuestras vidas terminen
I want to know right now
Quiero saber ahora mismo
What will it be
¿Qué será?
I don't want to wait
No quiero esperar
For our lives to be over
Para que nuestras vidas terminen
Will it be yes or will it be
¿Será sí o será?
Oh, so you look at me
Oh, así que me miras
From across the room
Desde el otro lado de la habitación
You're wearing your anguish again
Estás llevando tu angustia de nuevo
Believe me I know the feeling
Créeme, conozco el sentimiento
It sucks you into the jaws of anger
Te succiona en las fauces de la ira
Oh, so breathe a little more deeply my love
Oh, así que respira un poco más profundamente, mi amor
All we have is this very moment
Todo lo que tenemos es este mismo momento
And I don't want to do what
Y no quiero hacer lo que
His father and his father and his father did
Su padre y su padre y su padre hicieron
I want to be here now
Quiero estar aquí ahora
So open up your morning light
Así que abre tu luz matutina
And say a little prayer for I
Y di una pequeña oración por mí
You know that if we are to stay alive
Sabes que si queremos seguir vivos
And see the peace in every eye
Y ver la paz en cada ojo

¿Qué será?
I don't want to wait
No quiero esperar
For our lives to be over
Para que nuestras vidas terminen
Will it be yes or will it be
¿Será sí o será?
