High Hopes

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 (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'd 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 (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, oh
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'd 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 (High, high hopes)
