Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shootin' 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
[Verse 2]
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 3]
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 every day
We wanted everything, wanted everything
[Verse 4]
Mama said don't give up
It's a little complicated
All tied up, no more love
And I'd hate to see you waitin'
[Verse 5]
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shootin' 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
[Verse 6]
Mama said it's uphill for oddities
Stranger crusaders, ain't ever wanna-be's
The weird and the novelties don't ever change
We wanted everything, wanted everything
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Mama said don't give up
It's a little complicated
All tied up, no more love
And I'd hate to see you waitin'
[Verse 9]
They say it's all been done
But they haven't seen the best of me, ay, ay, ay
So I've got one more run
And it's gonna be a sight to see, ay, ay, ay
[Verse 10]
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shootin' 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
[Verse 11]
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 12]
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shootin' 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
[Verse 13]
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
