Lyrics- (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 (High, high hopes) Mama said Burn your biographies Rewrite your history Light up your wildest dreams Museum victories, every day 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 (High, high hopes) 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-e-e-e So I got one more run and it's gonna be a sight to see-e-e-e 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 (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 (High, high hopes)
