high high hopes for a living

shooting for the stars but i couldn't make a killing

didn't have a dime but i always had a vision

always had high high hopes

my mama said fulfill your prophecy be something greater

don't leave a legacy

manifest destiny back in the day

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 hopes mama said

don't feel for all to be the stranger crusaders

ain't never wanna be 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 woah

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

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

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
