High Hopes

I have

Hmm

I shed a tear for my father 

Who ain’t make it to this year

I shed a tear for the fathers 

Who can’t wait to see their kids

Cause the 

Baby mothers broken

Her emotions interfered 

And for 

All the single mothers

May you live 100 years 

I know a

49 year old 

Who wanna sing 

But changed careers 

Cause his 

Girl said be realistic 

And he listened 

I shed tears

I know a

25 year old

Who doesn’t know who she is

Thinks she wants marriage 

So she she’s sharing 

Someone’s husband 

God forgive 

Hmm

I need something 

Something to reverse my sins 

Hmm

I need something 

Jumping off the cliff 

But still 

Scared to see the end

Ohh ohh 

I need something 

Something to reverse my sins 

I need something 

I’m scared to see the end

Ohh ohh

I shed a tear for the babies 

Who ain’t make it

Out the womb 

I shed a tear for the babies 

Having babies way too soon

She was only seventeen 

Her mother came into the room

Said why you crying 

She said 

Mommy it’s been

Way too many moons

Without my cycle 

Dad’s a psycho 

He would kill me if he knew

I graduate sometime next May

Can’t take a baby

Back to school

And plus my

Boyfriend got deported 

So his family 

Gotta move

I need a thousand 

Maybe two

To have this 

Fetus funeral 

Her mother said

Don’t you worry

You got me 

And I got you

And though your

Father may be angry 

You his baby

Change your mood

We’d never leave you

By your lonesome 

You a soldier 

I salute 

For all the work you inherit 

And as grandparents 

We’ll work too

Don’t shed no tears

I need something 

Something to reverse my sins 

Hmm

I need something 

Jumping off the cliff 

But still 

Scared to see the end

Ohh ohh 

I need something 

Something to reverse my sins 

I need something 

I’m scared to see the end

Ohh ohh
