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
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


Oh Rosie, her man he gets too rough
That 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

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

You can all live more fearlessly
And you can lose all the 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


I hope
For more love, more joy and laughter

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

There'll be more happy ever afters
I hope
We can all live more fearlessly

And we can lose all our pain and misery
I hope, I hope


I hope
I hope
I hope
