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 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 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 (I hope) Love and peace No more hating, hurting (I hope) Give me little love, baby (I hope) Don't you know? I'm hoping for love and happiness (I hope) Just to come my way (I hope)
