I Hope

Sunday morning,

I heard the preacher say

Thou shall not kill

I don't wanna hear nothing else about killing

And that is

God's will'

Cause our children are watching us

They put their trust in us, they're going be like us

So let's learn from our history

And do it differently

Oh baby, I hope for more love, more joy and laughter

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

I hope we'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

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

And we can work it out lovingly

I hope for more love, 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 all live more fearlessly

And you can lose all your pain and misery

I hope, I hope, yes, you can

There must be a way

To change what's going on

Oh no, I don't have all the answers

But one thing

I hope for more love, more joy and laughter

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

I hope we'll have more happy ever afters

I hope and we can all live more fearlessly

We can lose all the pain and the misery

I hope, I hope

Oh babe, all the pain and misery

I hope, I hope

Come on love, give me happiness

Love and peace(I hope)

No more hating and hurting

I hopeGive me little love, baby

I hopeDon't you know?

I'm hoping for love and happiness(I hope)

Just to come my way

I hope
