High Hopes

[Chorus: All]
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

[Verse 1: Jannes & Max]
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"

[Pre-Chorus: Ian, Ian & Jannes]
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: All]
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 (High, high hopes)

[Verse 2]
Mama said, "It's uphill for oddities
The stranger crusaders ain't ever wannabes
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, oh
Stay up on that rise
Stay up on that rise and never come down"

[Pre-Chorus: Ian, Ian & Max]
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: Max & Niels, All, Niels]
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 (High, high hopes)
Had to have high (High), high hopes for a living (High hopes)
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 (High, high hopes)
