I Hope (Cocker Joe)

Sunday morning, I heard the preacher say Thou shall not kill I don't wanna hear nothing else about killing And that is God's will 'Cause our children are watching us They put their trust in us, they're going be like us So let's learn from our history And do it differently Oh baby, I hope for more love, more joy and laughter I hope we'll have more than you'll ever need I hope we'll have more happy ever afters I hope and 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 Our children are watching us They put their trust in us, they're gonna be like us It's okay for us to disagree And we can work it out lovingly I hope for more 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, yes, you can There must be a way To change what's going on Oh no, I don't have all the answers But one thing I hope for more love, more joy and laughter I hope we'll have more than you'll ever need I hope we'll have more happy ever afters I hope and we can all live more fearlessly We can lose all the pain and the misery I hope, I hope Oh babe, all the pain and misery I hope, I hope Come on love, give me happiness Love and peace (I hope) No more hating and hurting I hope Give me little love, baby I hope Don't you know? I'm hoping for love and happiness (I hope) Just to come my way I hope
