I Hope
By Dixie Chicks, from the CD: Taking The Long Way

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 everafter
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 gets too rough
And all she can say, i
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 everafters
I hope - That you can 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 - You'll have more happy everafters
I hope - That 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.
