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 afters

(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

And all she can say is "He's a good man

He don't mean no harm

He was just brought up that way"

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)

More love, more joy and laughter

(I hope)

You'll have more than you'll ever need

(I hope)

You'll have more happy ever afters

(I hope)

And you can live more fearlessly

And you can lose all your 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

But I hope

For more love, more joy and laughter

(I hope)

You'll have more than you'll ever need

(I hope)

You'll have more happy ever afters

(I hope)

And 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

I hope

I hope

I hope

I hope

I hope

I hope

I hope

I hope

I hope
