High Hopes

Mama said, "Fulfill your prophecy
Be something great, 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, 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
I didn't have a dime, but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes

I had to have high, hopes for a living
Don't know why, 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 never 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 the rise and never come down

Mama said, "Don't give up, 'cause it's a little complicated
All tied up, no more love, and I'd hate to see you waitin'"
They say it's all been done, but they haven't seen the best of me
So I got one more run and it's gonna be a sight to see

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

I had to have high, hopes for a living
Don't know why, but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes

I had to have high, hopes for a living
Don't know why, but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes
