"I Hope" by Dixie Chicks (Emily Robison/Keb' Mo'/Martie Maguire/Natalie Maines)1st Verse
Sunday mornin'
Heard the preacher say
Thou shall not kill
I don't wanna hear nothin' else
About kill
And that it's God's will
1st Pre-Chorus
'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
Chorus
(I hope)
(For) more love, more joy and laughter
(I hope)
(We'll) (You'll) have more than (we'll) (you'll) ever need
(I hope)
(We'll have) (There'll be) (You'll have) more happy-ever-after's
(I hope)
(We) (And you) can all live more fearlessly
And (we) (you) can lose all (the) (your) pain and misery
(I hope) I hope
2nd Verse
Her man gets too rough
All she can say
Is he's a good man
He don't mean no harm
He was brought up that way
2nd Pre-Chorus
And 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
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge
There must be a way
To change what's goin' on
No, I don't have all the answers, but
(Chorus Out)
