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
VERSE
Mama said, fulfill the prophecy
Be something greater, 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, everyday
We wanted everything, wanted everything
PRE-CHORUS
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"
CHORUS
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 a ho-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Stay up on that rise, stay up on that rise
And never come down, oh-oh
Stay up on that rise, stay up on that rise
And never come down
PRE-CHORUS
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
BRIDGE
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"
CHORUS
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
