When you're on your high horse and things aren't going your way
You really don't appreciate what you wanted bad yesterday

But if I lost it - I'd still be the same
It won't break my spirit - I'll look ahead just the same
Times are hard it's true - I'll cope

But it won't get me down cause I got - High Hopes

When you're on the bottom the place to look is up
When things are getting better, don't say enough
What you achieve - that's for you to choose
You can always - regain what you lose

Something shitty happens and it hurts - I'll cope
It's time that we all had - High Hopes

Some people can't rebound when hardship hits their life
When they lose something they love and their friend's holding the knife
Pick your head up!
Get off the fucking ground!
These High Hopes that I have
Keep me from getting down!
