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 sting
When she thought it was God calling her
Oh would her son grow to know his father
CHORUS:
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 had granddaughters
Chorus
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 dig a little more deeply,
All we have is the 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 right
You know that if we are to stay alive
And see the peace in every eye
Chorus (2 times)
So open up your morning light
And say a little prayer for right
You know that if we are to stay alive
And see the love in every eye

Spirit n just like it | Reviewer: Da castle | 1/7/09
Everything in the world has a spirit. So does this song, i found a strong spirit on it. Most of you said it remembered u to the dawson's creek. But not for me, my friend played this song in one afternoon after school. When the first time i heard it, i think this a good song and i just like it
but doesn't this song remind anyone of the war? that's the part that makes me sad.. i mean i'm 17 but my poppa was in the war i can only imagine what it would be like when they got back "and the war he saw, lives inside him still, it's so hard to be gentle and warm" it must've been so hard.
Love's sweet as honey & bitter as hell | Reviewer: kenny | 8/7/08
In the midst of everyday life, running all the time to meet the 2 ends, we should all take a pause and look around. Everything comes and goes. Don't look at the past and think that we really screwed things up. No, be here now. Live the moment. Praise and honour each other while we are still alive and not wait for a memorial ceremony when we're dead. Live now.

When i was younger i used to watch Dawons creek,
i used to have the biggest crush on the blonde guy dawson, no idea what his real name is, and didnt used to like the other guys XD I also thought katie holmes was so pretty.
Hearing this song really brings back memories for me, of how life used to be and how much it has changed for me.
i dont wanna wait for our lives to be over.. what a strong and true line, one take so much things for granted, so much that one, gets mad, yells, complain, etc, not knowing.. or acepting that every single thing passes, including, our lifes.
amazing song.
childhood | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/23/08
this song reminds me of my childhood in perth-australia,,
even though i was never allowed to watch the TV series(dawsons creek),i always listen to this song before the show starts...happy moments..
This song is deeper than Dawsons Creek! | Reviewer: Sandra Tapia | 1/22/08
We need to embrace every single moment that God has given us! Life is hard enough as it is, without us adding our negative imput! Enjoy each breath that we take! Stop living in the past!!!!! With Gods grace we are free from all this junk! May God reach every ear that hears this song. May God bless the writer and singer!!! It's absolutely spiritual!!!!!!!!!!!
This song makes me remember when my sister and I would sit on the couch and watch Dawson's Creek.
I love this song!
I makes me want to cry.
