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 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
|
