I Hope Lyrics - Hard Knocks - Joe Cocker

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
