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 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 up your head, get off the ground These High Hopes that I have keep me from getting down. High Hopes!
