[00:00.186]So open up your morning light

[00:03.308]And say a little prayer for I

[00:05.749]You know that if we are to stay alive

[00:08.772]And see the peace in every eye

[00:22.633]She had two babies

[00:25.326]One was six months one was three

[00:37.960]When she thought it was God calling her

[00:43.019]Oh would her son grow to know his father

[00:51.867]I don't want to wait

[00:53.908]For our lives to be over

[00:56.868]I want to know right now

[00:59.032]What will it be

[02:20.427]All we have is this very moment
