[Chorus: Danny Case]
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

[Verse 1: Danny Case]
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 wantеd everything, wanted еverything

[Pre-Chorus: Danny Case]
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: Danny Case]
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)
[Verse 2: Danny Case]
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

[Bridge: Danny Case]
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 3: Matt Brandyberry]
I was born and raised to live my life with high hopes
Even when the bridges always seemed to turn to tightropes
Just keep on climbing, don't look down until I reach the high road
Found out the world don't know me, so chased the dream on my own
Cause everything's [?], my life hit the ceiling with something I couldn't believe
I'm here for a reason, and nobody's stealing the dream that I'm 'bout to achieve
And all that I needed was for people to hear me, and see that they probably agree
The living was easy, by mine [?] was [?] I know one day you'll succeed
And now I'm feeling high off the climb-up of something special
Went through a couple lineups surrounded by higher levels
No more tears, no more fears, now my future's crystal clear
I had to scale a mountain of doubt to get out of here
[Pre-Chorus: Danny Case]
They say it's all been done but they haven't seen the best of me-eh-eh-eh
So I got one more run and it's gonna be a sight to see-eh-eh-eh

[Bridge: Danny Case]
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)

[Chorus: Danny Case]
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)
