text: Had to have high, high hopes for a living
  Shooting for the stars when I couldnt make a killing
  Didnt have a dime but I always had a vision
  Always had high, high hopes 
  Had to have high, high hopes for a living
  Didnt know how but I always had a feeling
  I was gonna be that one in a million
  Always had high, high hopes
  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
  Mama said dont give up, its a little complicated
  All tied up, no more love and Id hate to see you waiting
  Had to have high, high hopes for a living
  Shooting for the stars when I couldnt make a killing
  Didnt have a dime but I always had a vision
  Always had high, high hopes
  Had to have high, high hopes for a living
  Didnt know how but I always had a feeling
  I was gonna be that one in a million
  Always had high, high hopes 
  Mama said, its uphill for oddities
  The stranger crusaders, aint ever wannabes
  The weird and the novelties dont 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
  Mama said dont give up, its a little complicated
  All tied up, no more love and Id hate to see you waiting
  They say its all been done but they havent seen the best of me-eh-eh-eh
  So I got one more run and its gonna be a sight to see-eh-eh-eh
  Had to have high, high hopes for a living
  Shooting for the stars when I couldnt make a killing
  Didnt have a dime but I always had a vision
  Always had high, high hopes 
  Had to have high, high hopes for a living
  Didnt know how but I always had a feeling
  I was gonna be that one in a million
  Always had high, high hopes 
  Had to have high, high hopes for a living
  Shooting for the stars when I couldnt make a killing
  Didnt have a dime but I always had a vision
  Always had high, high hopes
  Had to have high, high hopes for a living
  Didnt know how but I always had a feeling
  I was gonna be that one in a million
  Always had high, high hopes
