  • Monday morning runs to Sunday night
    Screaming 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
    I 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
    I 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 Writer/s: TIMOTHY SCOTT MCCONNELL
