I Hope

1. 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

R: 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

2. Oh Rosie, her man he gets too rough

That's all she can say,

Em

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

R:

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

No I don't have all the answers

R: +

I hope

I hope

I hope
