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

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
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
We can work it out lovingly

I hope, 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, you'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
And we can lose all the pain and misery
I hope, I hope

I hope
I hope...(repeating and fading through guitar solo/outro)
