Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing
Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Didn't know how but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes
Mama said
Fulfill the prophecy
Be something greater
Go make a legacy
Manifest destiny
Back in the days
We wanted everything, wanted everything
Mama said
Burn your biographies
Rewrite your history
Light up your wildest dreams
Museum victories
Everyday
We wanted everything, wanted everything
Mama said don't give up, it's a little complicated
All tied up, no more love and I hate to see you waiting
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing
Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Didn't know how but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes
Mama said
It's uphill for oddities
Stranger crusaders
Ain't ever wannabes
The weird and the novelties
Don't ever change
We wanted everything, wanted everything
Stay up on that rise
Stay up on that rise and never come down
Stay up on that rise
Stay up on that rise and never come down
Mama said don't give up, it's a little complicated
All tied up, no more love and I hate to see you waiting
They say it's all been done but they
haven't seen the best of me, eh eh eh
So I got one more run and it's gonna be a sight to see, eh eh eh
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing
Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Didn't know how but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing
Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Didn't know how but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes
Brendon stands in for Hugh Jackman as the circus leader as part of the star-studded covers album The Greatest Showman Reimagined, which is due out November 16.
"I heard it and I was like, ‘This sounds like a Panic! song. You guys did a Panic! song better than I’ve ever done a Panic! song'," the frontman said about being approached for the new collection, before revealing it almost didn't see the light of day.
"'[I said] I would love to...I tried it, and then for whatever reason — labels, management, I’m not sure why — I got cut out of the process and it seemed like it wasn’t going to happen. But finally I hooked back up with them and we got a demo version recorded and they mixed it and are putting it out. It’s awesome."
The Reimagined album also features P!nk's version of 'A Million Dreams', Years & Years, Anne-Marie, Kesha, Kelly Clarkson, Jess Glynne and more.
Hugh Jackman recently hinted that the blockbuster musical may be heading to theatre also, teasing it could potentially be based in the UK also, while it is early days.
"All I know is when we were in the room during those workshops, you get a really keen sense if it's going to work in a theatre, he said. "And I know it will work. I just know the power. I've seen Keala standing in the centre of a room singing This Is Me, and there was not a dry eye in the house."
And now we wait!
