"I Hope"

Got the new Dixie Chicks CD and it's amazing. The last track, I Hope, inspired this. I think that's what kills me about our world right now. Our children ARE watching and what they're learning is hate and ugliness.

Favorite line--"I don't wanna hear nothin' else about killin' and that it's God's will."

Amen. That's not MY God. And I'm tired of being made to feel that I'm un-American or going to hell if I don't buy into that crap.


Sunday morningI heard the preacher say
Thou’ shall not kill
I don’t wanna hear nothin’ else
About killin’ and that it’s God’s will
‘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(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
But our children are watching us
They put their trust in us
They’re gonna be like us
It’s ok for us to disagree
We can work it out lovingly(I hope)
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 hopeT
here must be a way
To change what’s going on
No I don’t have all the answers
But I hope(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 we can all live more fearlessly
And we can lose all the pain and misery(I hope)I hope
And we can lose all the pain and misery
