Monday morning runs to Sunday night a scream
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
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

Got high hopes
I got high hopes
Got high hopes
I got high hopes

Coming from the city
Coming from the wild
I see a breathless army breaking like a cloud
They're gonna smother love, they're gonna shoot your hopes
Before the meek inherit they'll learn to hate themselves
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

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

Got high hopes
Got high hopes
I got high hopes
Got high hopes

Tell me someone now, what's the price
I wanna buy some time and maybe live my life
I wanna have a wife, I wanna have some kids
I wanna look in their eyes and know they'll stand a chance

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

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
