I Hope

Sunday morning, I heard the preacher say

Thou shall not kill

I don't wanna hear nothing else about killing

And that it's God's will

'Cause our children are watching us

They put their trust in us

They're gonna be like us

So let's learn from our history

And do it differently

I hope, for more love, more joy and laughter

I hope, we'll have more than we'll ever need

I hope, we'll have more happy ever after

I hope, we can all live more fearlessly

And we can lose all the pain and misery

I hope, I hope

Oh, Rosie, her man he gets too rough

That's all she can say, is he's a good man

He don't mean no harm

He was just brought up that way

But our children are watching us

They put their trust in us

They're gonna be like us

It's okay for us to disagree

We can work it out lovingly

I hope, for more love, more joy and laughter

I hope, you'll have more than we'll ever need

I hope, you'll have more happy ever after

I hope, you can all live more fearlessly

And you can lose all the pain and misery

I hope, I hope

There must be a way to change what's going on

No I don't have all the answers

I hope, for more love, more joy and laughter

I hope, you'll have more than ever need

I hope, you'll have more happy ever after

I hope, we can all live more fearlessly

And we can lose all the pain and misery

I hope, I hope

And we can lose all the pain and misery

I hope, I hope

I hope, I hope, I hope... ^[1]
