I Hope
by Dixie Chicks
- Sunday morning, I heard the preacher say
- Thou shall not kill
- I don't wanna, hear nothin' else, about killin'
- And that it's God's will
- Cuz 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 love, 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
- For I hope
- For 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
- There must be a way to change what's going on
- No, I don't have all the answers, but
- 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 the pain and misery, we can lose all the pain and misery
- I hope, I hope
- I hope
- I hope
- I hope
