High Hopes - Paolo Nutini

My hopes are high but my eyes can’t

Believe what they see,

Give me something to believe,

Give me something to believe,

I got lucky in life and had plenty to eat and

I saw this world as one big pool of opportunity

But there’s too much mind corruption,

Too little remedy (or that’s how it seems to me)

Yeah we need a moral education to

Set the young minds free…

So let us change what we can and

Accept what we can’t

Impart some of the wisdom

From that tried and tested man

There’s no harm in being wrong you know no,

In fact to me, it’s common ground — yeah

So take that feather from you cap sir,

And pass that feather around…

My hopes are high but my eyes can’t

Believe what they see,

Give me something to believe in,

Give me something to believe,

My hopes are high but my eyes can’t

Believe what they see

My hopes are high

Give me something,

Give me something to believe
