Dixie Chicks the Theologians: From the Song I HOPE

Sunday morning, I heard the preacher say
Thou shall not kill
I don't wanna, hear nothing else, about killing
And that it's God's will
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
That 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
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
You can all live more fearlessly
And you can lose all the 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
I hope
For more love, more joy and laughter
I hope
You'll have more than you'll ever need
I hope
There'll be more happy ever afters
I hope
We can all live more fearlessly
And we can lose all our pain and misery
I hope, I hope
I hope
I hope

I can't stand the Dixie Chicks. I just really can't. I tried to get into their songs but they just annoy me.

The only one I think I even sorta liked was "Earl".

For some reason, I didn't see you as a Dixie Chick-er
