The lights are on and boy, there's someone home
Wandering around the place alone
Things have not turned out the way you planned
You try and try but cannot understand
High hopes
Nothing but high in the sky kind of hopes
But they keep falling down
They get kicked all around
But don't you ever let them go
When the sky falls to pieces and you race for the higher ground
From the tears that make you fear you're gonna drown
When you stop up at the top you'll see all around
From heaven on down
High hopes
Nothing but high in the sky kind of hopes
But they keep falling down
They get kicked all around
But don't you ever let them go
The hurt is one day bound to fade away
As caring, joy, and kindness take its place
When the sky falls to pieces and you race for the higher ground
From the tears that make you fear you're gonna drown
When you stop up at the top, you'll see all around
From heaven on down
