Lyrics:
So open up your morning light,
And say a little prayer for right
You know that if we are to stay alive
Then see the peace in every eye...

doo doo doo doo do doo do
do do doo doo doo doo dooo doo ooh

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?

[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?

doo doo oooh doo ooh do do ooh

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

[CHORUS]

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(oooooooh)
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 right
You know that if we are to stay alive,
And see the peace in every eye...

[CHORUS x2]

doo doo doo dooo oooh do dooo doo
doo doo doo dooo do doooo oooh
doo doo doo do dooo do do

So open up your morning light,
And say a little prayer for right
You know that if we are to stay alive
Then see the love in every eye...

GMA singers really are awesome. Just love you Jona, Aicelle and Maricris - La Diva!!!

[RedDiaz]

Been listening to this song every morning while brushing my teeth. Crazy how this song has been a part of my morning routine. Love it that much!

[docthunderrrrei]

This was 5 years ago?! I was one of lucky audiences listening to her angelic voice! <3

[qajjan]

Aicelle deserves so much more attention, she is one of the best singers I know. Incredible waste of talent to not be recognized for her true gift. Love you <3

[artmercines]

She's the best Alto the Philippines has ever produced. Hindi lang sya magaling na soloista magaling din sya sa bosesan.

[ponponobiado]

Product of GMA-7 galing sa "pinoy pop super star" inaabangan ko to lagi.Kz Malaki boses nya sarap

[amirprog]

[quirkywasp]

Is this real?! What a voice, goshhhh!! Simply speechless :O

[monickalynn]

Goose bumps! This is such a tender, delicate, emotional song. Her voice is beautiful!

[JK-hjkg]

So underrated. Di sugapa sa birit. Galing magmodulate ng voice and linis kumanta and she didn’t try to copy Paula Cole while singing this song.

[rbak]

I love her song choices! Malayong malayo sa mga kinakanta nya sa tv. Ang sarap pakinggan na hindi Lang puro birit.

[aethrya]

This is an exceptionally difficult song to cover and she nailed it. Very good rendition of a beautiful, iconic song.

[historylover]

One of the most memorable songs of my childhood. Thank you Aicelle for giving justice to this magnificent song. A breath of fresh air. I used to listen to this song after playing outside. A part of my 90s happy childhood.

[elysahsanvel]

Her voice is so international and yes, she's going international. Go and make us proud Aicelle!

[HerNameIsKimTaeHee]

Dawson's creek. Nostalgic performance! I hope she revive this song!

[gHost-triphop]

I miss the popular tv show back in 90's "dawson's creek"

[SkippyGustilo]
