Lyrics

[Verse 1]

My hopes are high, but my eyes

Can't believe what they see, no

Oh, give me something to believe

Give me something to believe

[Verse 2]

Oh, I've got lucky in life and got plenty to eat

And I saw this world as one big pool of opportunity

Oh, but there's too much mind corruption

Too little remedy or that's how it seems to me

[Verse 3]

Yeah, we need a moral education

To set the young minds free

[Verse 4]

So let us change what we can and accept what we can't

And impart some of the wisdom from the tried and tested man

Oh, there's no harm in bein' wrong, you know, no

Fact to me, it's common ground, yeah, yeah

[Verse 5]

So take that feather from your cap, sir

And pass that feather around, yeah

[Verse 6]

My hopes are high

But my eyes can't believe what they see

Oh, give me something to believe in

Give me something to believe, yeah

[Verse 7]

Oh

Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 8]

Oh, my hopes are high

But my eyes can't believe what they see

Oh, my hopes are high

Oh, give me something, give me something to believe
