High Hopes Songtext
von Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band

One, two, whoo

Monday mornin′ runs to Sunday night
Screamin', slow me down before the new year dies
It won′t take much to kill a lovin' smile
On every mother with her baby cryin' in her arms, singin′

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

They're comin′ from the city, comin' from the wild
I see a breathless army breakin′ 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
Yeah, I got high hopes (right)

Got high hopes
Yeah, I got high hopes
I got high hopes
And I got high hopes

Yeah, so, 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 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
Yeah, I got high hopes (right)

High hope
I got high hopes
Yeah, I got high hopes
I got high hopes

Yeah, high hopes
Yeah, high hopes
High hopes
High hopes

Yeah, I got high hopes
Got high hopes (yeah)
High hopes
High hopes
High hopes
Yeah, high hopes
High hopes
High hopes
