EmSunday morning, I heard the pDreacher say
CThou shall not kill
CI don't wanna hear Dnothing else about kCilling
And that it's God's will
Em'Cause our children are Dwatching us
They put their Ctrust in us
They're gonna be like us
EmSo let's learn from our Dhistory
And do it Cdifferently
[Chorus]
I Ghope
For more love, more joy and laughter
I hope
We'll have more than we'll ever need
I Chope
We'll have more happy ever afters
I Ghope
We can all live more fearlessly
And we can Dlose all the Cpain and misGery
I hope
I hope
[Verse 2]
EmOh Rosie, her man Dhe gets too rough
CThat's all she can say,
