Monday morning runs to sunday night
Screaming slow me down before the new year dies
It won't take much to kill a loving smile
And every mother with a baby crying in her arms

[Chorus:]
Give me help, give me strength
Give us all a night of fearless sleep
Give me love, give me peace
Don't you know these days you pay for everything

[Hook:]
Got high hopes
Got high hopes

Coming from the city's, coming from the wild
I see a breathless, breaking like a cloud
It's gonna smother love, it's gonna shoot our hope
Before the meek inherit learn to hate themselves

[Chorus]

[Hook x2]

So tell me someone, now what's the price
I want to, buy some time and maybe live my life
I wanna do things right, I wanna, have some kids
I wanna look in their eyes and know they're gonna stand a chance

[Chorus]

[Hook x3]
