I Don't Wanna Wait
December Avenue Lyrics

So open up your morning light
Start your day with positive energy and hope.

And say a little prayer for I
Take a moment to pray for yourself and those around you.

You know that if we are to stay alive
Surviving in this world requires effort and cooperation.

And see the peace in every eye
A peaceful world where people care for each other should be our goal.

She had two babies, one was six months, one was three
A mother had to take care of two very young children.

In the war of '44
The story is set during World War II.

Every telephone ring, every heartbeat stinging
The mother is anxious and scared, thinking that news of her husband's death may arrive at any moment.

When she thought it was God calling her
When the phone rang, she thought it was God calling to inform her about her husband's fate.

Oh, would her son grow to know his father?
The mother fears that her son will grow up without knowing his father who may have died in the war.

He showed up all wet on the rainy front step
A war veteran arrives at home on a rainy day.

Wearing shrapnel in his skin
He sustained injuries caused by shrapnel that are still visible on his skin.

And the war he saw lives inside him still
The memories and trauma of the war are still with him and affect him deeply.

It's so hard to be gentle and warm
It's difficult for him to express kindness and affection after what he went through in the war.

The years pass by and now he has granddaughters
Time passes and now he has granddaughters, a sign of a new generation and hope for the future.

Will it be yes or will it be sorry?
The singer is pondering about the uncertain future and possible outcomes.

I don't want to wait for our lives to be over
The artist wants to seize the moment and live life to the fullest.

I want to know right now what will it be
The artist seeks clarity and certainty about the future.

Will it be yes or will it be sorry?
The singer is still pondering about the uncertain future and possible outcomes.
