I Don't Want to Wait
Sung by: Paula Cole
Vid Done by:Dani Cregan
So open up your morning light
*Dawn breaks in front of the Quest compound*
And say a little prayer for I
*Jonny stares out his window at the sunrise*
You know that if we are to stay alive
*Bandit wakes up in the yard*
and see the peace in every I
*Christy wakes to see the sunrise through her window*
She had two babies
One was six months one was three
In the war of '44
*Jonny and Christy working on a project with WWII books around them*
Every telephone ring
*Christy picking up the phone*
Every heartbeat stinging
*Jonny remembering how he had met her*
When thought it was God calling her
*Christy looks around for the source of an unseen voice*
Oh would her son grow to know his father
*Jonny holding a picture of his parents at their wedding*
CHORUS:
I don't want to wait
*Christy tapping her foot on the ground impatiently*
For our lives to be over
I want to know right know
*Jonny trying to explain why he's late*
What will it be
*Christy closes her eyes frustratedly listening to his explanation*
I don't want to wait
For our lives to be over
Will it be yes or will it be
*She holds out her hands shrugging*
Sorry
*Jonny has tears in his eyes watching Christy hug Hadji*
He showed up all wet
On the rainy front step
*Jonny shaking out his umbrella in front of the compound*
Wearing shrapnel in his skin
And the war he saw
Lives inside him still
*He looks as if he is fighting with himself*
It's so hard to be gentle and warm
*Christy hugs him*
The years passed by and now
He had a granddaughter
*Jonny Jr. brings his daughter to see "Grandma" and "Grandpa"*
chorus
Oh so you look at me
>From across the room
*Jonny and Christy yelling at each other across the rec room*
You're wearing your anguish again
*Christy gets a pained look and runs out of the room crying*
Believe me, I know the feeling
It sucks you into the jaws of anger
*Jonny punches a pillow and flops onto his bed frustratedly*
Oh, so breathe a little more deeply,
*Hadji and Tai-Lee trying to calm each of them down*
All we have is the very moment
*Christy writes a letter to her parents, rips it up and flings it across the
room*
And I don't want to do what
His father and his father and his father did
I want to be here now
*Jonny kisses her as the moon rises*
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 I
chorus (2 times)
So open up your morning light
And say a little prayer for I
*shot of a decorated chapel*
You know that if we are to stay alive
And see the love in every I
*Jonny and Christy each say "I do"*
Hey, whadda ya know, IT'S NOT ANGST! I guess I'm not depressed anymore!
