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

Mama said (mama said), "Fulfill the prophecy

Something greater, go make a legacy"

Manifest destiny back in the days

We wanted everything (everything)

Wanted everything (everything)

Mama said (mama said), "Burn your biographies

Rewrite your history, light up your wildest dreams"

Museum victories everyday

We wanted everything (everything)

Wanted everything (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

Mama said (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 (everything)

Wanted everything (everything)

Stay up on that rise (up on that rise)

Stay up on that rise and never come down, oh

Stay up on that rise (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

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
