All she can say is, “He's a good man
(I hope)
And do it differently
They're gonna be like us
You'll have more happy ever afters
 
Our children are watching us
But I hope
I don't wanna hear nothing else about killing
And you can lose all your pain and misery
We can work it out lovingly
And that it's God's will
(I hope)

More love, more joy and laughter
He don't mean no harm
(I hope)
I hope
 

They're gonna be like us
(I hope)
We'll have more happy ever afters
(I hope)
…
For more love, more joy and laughter
You'll have more than you'll ever need
There must be a way to change what's going on
(I hope)
(I hope)

It's okay for us to disagree
(I hope)
They put their trust in us
I hope
There'll be more happy ever afters
I hope
(I hope)
We'll have more than we'll ever need

And we can lose all the pain and misery
'Cause our children are watching us

  
Oh Rosie, her man he gets too rough
You'll have more than you'll ever need
 
(I hope)
And you can all live more fearlessly
We can all live more fearlessly
(I hope)
No I don't have all the answers
 
(I hope)
So let's learn from our history
They put their trust in us

(I hope)
(I hope)
He was brought up that way”
For more love, more joy and laughter
I hope
We can all live more fearlessly
I hope
I hope

And we can lose all the pain and misery
