High Hopes
High Hopes: Exploring the Human Quest for Purpose
Lyrics
You'll see me right at the edge
You'll find me on the brink of something.
I'm the words that nobody said
I represent the unspoken thoughts and emotions.
I wonder how far we’ll go
Contemplating how far our journey will take us.
I wonder how far we'll go
Reiterating the contemplation of our journey's extent.
The church bells sing to the poor
Contrast between the church's message and the rich's pursuit.
The rich keep searching for more
The affluent are in constant pursuit of more.
If this is the world we know
Raising questions about the known world.
Please God, will You save my soul
An appeal to God for salvation.
No, I'm never gonna start a war
Commitment to avoiding conflict and choosing prayer.
Yeah, I’m only gonna start to pray
Expressing a preference for prayer over starting conflicts.
I wonder if we'll grow old
Reflecting on the possibility of growing old.
I wonder why we don't know
Pondering the reasons for our lack of understanding.
Promise I will see you again
Promising a reunion with someone.
What's broken we can mend
Belief in the ability to mend what is broken.
I wonder how far we'll go
Revisiting the contemplation of the journey's extent.
I wonder how we've got high hopes
Expressing confidence and optimism.
We've got high hopes
Highlighting the possession of optimistic aspirations.
Through these high hopes
Carrying these optimistic aspirations through challenges.
Still my heart grows
Despite challenges, the heart continues to grow.
The light burns deep in your eyes
The profound impact seen in the other person's eyes.
The weight lifts off of my back
A sense of relief and liberation.
I wonder if you can know
Speculating on the other person's understanding.
How I'd never want to see you go
Expressing reluctance to see the person leave.
But all I hear is a storm
An atmosphere of turmoil dominates.
Your words hold firm in the night
The person's words provide strength in challenging times.
I wonder if we should know
Questioning the need for understanding.
I wonder how far we’ll go
Revisiting the contemplation of the journey's extent.
No, I’m never gonna start a war
A pledge to avoid initiating conflicts.
Yeah, I'm only gonna start to say
Choosing words over warfare.
I wonder how far we’ll go
Returning to the contemplation of the journey's extent.
I wonder why we don't know
Questioning the reasons for our lack of understanding.
Give me life with someone to serve
Desire for a purposeful life in service to others.
Give the love I'll never deserve
Asking for love that feels undeserved.
I wonder how far we'll go
Revisiting the contemplation of the journey's extent.
I wonder how we’ve got high hopes
Reflecting on the reasons for having high hopes.
We've got high hopes
Emphasizing the possession of optimistic aspirations.
Through these high hopes
Navigating challenges with these high aspirations.
Still my heart knows
Despite challenges, the heart remains steadfast.
