High Hopes Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Monday morning runs to Sunday night
Screaming slow me down before the new year dies
Well it won't take much to kill a loving smile
And every mother with a baby crying in her arms, singing
[Pre-Chorus]
Give me help, give me strength
Give a soul a night of fearless sleep
Give me love, give me peace
Don't you know these days you pay for everything
[Chorus]
Got high hopes
I got high hopes
Got high hopes
I got high hopes
[Verse 2]
Coming from the city, coming from the wild
I see a breathless army breaking like a cloud
They're going to smother love, they're going to shoot your hopes
Before the meek inherit they'll learn to hate themselves
[Pre-Chorus]
Give me help, give me strength
Give a soul a night of fearless sleep
Give me love, give me peace
Don't you know these days you pay for everything
Monday morning runs to Sunday night
Screaming slow me down before the new year dies
Well it won't take much to kill a loving smile
And every mother with a baby crying in her arms, singing
[Pre-Chorus]
Give me help, give me strength
Give a soul a night of fearless sleep
Give me love, give me peace
Don't you know these days you pay for everything
[Chorus]
Got high hopes
I got high hopes
Got high hopes
I got high hopes
[Verse 2]
Coming from the city, coming from the wild
I see a breathless army breaking like a cloud
They're going to smother love, they're going to shoot your hopes
Before the meek inherit they'll learn to hate themselves
[Pre-Chorus]
Give me help, give me strength
Give a soul a night of fearless sleep
Give me love, give me peace
Don't you know these days you pay for everything
[Chorus]
Got high hopes
I got high hopes
I got high hopes
I got high hopes
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Give me help, give me strength
Give a soul a night of fearless sleep
Give me love, give me peace
Don't you know these days you pay for everything
[Chorus]
Got high hopes
Got high hopes
I got high hopes
Got high hopes
[Verse 3]
Tell me someone, what's the price
I want to buy some time and maybe live my life
I want to have a wife, I want to have some kids
I want to look in their eyes and know they'll stand a chance
Got high hopes
I got high hopes
I got high hopes
I got high hopes
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Give me help, give me strength
Give a soul a night of fearless sleep
Give me love, give me peace
Don't you know these days you pay for everything
[Chorus]
Got high hopes
Got high hopes
I got high hopes
Got high hopes
[Verse 3]
Tell me someone, what's the price
I want to buy some time and maybe live my life
I want to have a wife, I want to have some kids
I want to look in their eyes and know they'll stand a chance
[Pre-Chorus]
Give me help, give me strength
Give a soul a night of fearless sleep
Give me love, give me peace
Don't you know these days you pay for everything
[Chorus]
I got high hopes
Got high hopes
I got high hopes
Got high hopes
Got high hopes
I got high hopes
I got high hopes
I got high hopes
Give me help, give me strength
Give a soul a night of fearless sleep
Give me love, give me peace
Don't you know these days you pay for everything
[Chorus]
I got high hopes
Got high hopes
I got high hopes
Got high hopes
Got high hopes
I got high hopes
I got high hopes
I got high hopes
