High Hopes - Live Session from Spotify Studios NYC

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, "Don't give up, it's a little complicated
All tied up, no more love and I'd hate to see you waiting"

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

Mama said, "It's uphill for oddities
The stranger crusaders, they never 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, whoa
Stay up on that rise
Stay up on that rise and never come down

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"
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

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 have 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 have 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 couldn't make a killing
Didn't have a dime but I always have 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
