VERSE 1

[Em]Sunday morning, I heard the [D]preacher say

And that it's God's will

They put their [C]trust in us

They're gonna be like us

[Em]So let's learn from our [D]history

And do it [C]differently



CHORUS

I [G]hope

For more love, more joy and laughter

I hope

We'll have more than we'll ever need

I [C]hope

We'll have more happy ever afters

I [G]hope

We can all live more fearlessly

And we can [D]lose all the [C]pain and mis[G]ery

I hope

I hope

He don't [D]mean no harm

He was [C]just brought up that way



[Em]But our children are [D]watching us

We can [C]work it out lovingly
