I Hope

Theres been a lot of posting about deserters, death and killing as well as the shadow of 9/11. Therefore this post really is to close of the subject for me for now and onto other things. I was listening to the dixie chicks on my way back from Ipswich and the words of this song, possibly a bit treacly, but well meaning seemed to hit the nail.....

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 more love, more 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
(Chorus)

For 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 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
