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 after
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´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

I hope, for more love, more joy and laughter
I hope, you´ll have more than we´ll ever need
I hope, you´ll have more happy ever after
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, we´ll have more than we´ll ever need
I hope, we´ll have more happy ever after
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
