Verse 1

Sunday morning, I heard the preacher say

~TThou shall not kill~T

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

Chorus

 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

Verse 2

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

REPEAT CHORUS

Bridge

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

No I don't have all the answers

REPEAT CHORUS

 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

I hope

I hope

I hope
