[Intro]
高く、壮大な希望

[Chorus]
生きるために抱くのは高い志
野心に向かって突き進む、上手くいかないときだって
貧しくても、いつもヴィジョンだけは失わなかった
高い、高い志を
生きるために抱くのは高い志
方法はわからなくても、なぜだか感じていたんだ
希少な存在になるものだって
いつだって高い、高い志を

[Verse 1]
ママは言った「目標を持ちなさい」
「何か優れた、記憶に刻まれるようなことを」
まるで西部開拓、そんな昔の話
全てを手に入れたかった俺たち、全てを
ママは言った「伝記なんて燃やしてしまいなさい」
「また書き直せばいいの、夢を照らしてあげて」
まるで勝利を祝う美術館の絵画、いつだって
全てを手に入れたかった俺たち、全てを

[Pre-Chorus]
ママは言った「諦めちゃ駄目、ちょっと複雑なだけ」
「余裕がなくて、愛のない、あなたはこれ以上見ていられないわ」

[Chorus]
生きるために抱くのは高い志
野心に向かって突き進む、上手くいかないときだって
貧しくても、いつもヴィジョンだけは失わなかった
高い、高い志を
生きるために抱くのは高い志
方法はわからなくても、なぜだか感じていたんだ
希少な存在になるものだって
いつだって高い、高い志を


[Verse 2]
ママは言った「奇抜な人には上り坂はつきもの」
「風変わりな改革者、夢物語とは違う」
奇妙、斬新さは変わらないもの
全てを手に入れたかった俺たち、全てを

[Bridge]
上昇気流に乗ったまま
上昇気流に乗ったまま、絶対に下降なんてしない
上昇気流に乗ったまま
上昇気流に乗ったまま、絶対に下降なんてしない

[Pre-Chorus]
ママは言った「諦めちゃ駄目、ちょっと複雑なだけ」
「余裕がなくて、愛のない、あなたはこれ以上見ていられないわ」
「もう終わりだって言われても、あなたのベストを知らない人が言ってるだけ」
だから、もう一度走り出すのさ、証明してやるんだ

[Bridge]
生きるために抱くのは高い志
野心に向かって突き進む、上手くいかないときだって
貧しくても、いつもヴィジョンだけは失わなかった
高い、高い志を
生きるために抱くのは高い志
方法はわからなくても、なぜだか感じていたんだ
希少な存在になるものだって
いつだって高い、高い志を

[Chorus]
生きるために抱くのは高い志
野心に向かって突き進む、上手くいかないときだって
貧しくても、いつもヴィジョンだけは失わなかった
高い、高い志を
生きるために抱くのは高い志
方法はわからなくても、なぜだか感じていたんだ
希少な存在になるものだって
いつだって高い、高い志を

[Intro]
High, high hopes

[Chorus]
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing
Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes (High, high hopes)
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Didn't know how but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes

[Verse 1]
Mama said, fulfill the prophecy
Be something greater, go make a legacy
Manifest destiny, back in the days
We wanted everything, wanted everything
Mama said, burn your biographies
Rewrite your history, light up your wildest dreams
Museum victories, every day
We wanted everything, wanted everything

[Pre-Chorus]
Mama said don't give up, it's a little complicated
All tied up, no more love and I'd hate to see you waiting

[Chorus]
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing
Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Didn't know how but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes (High, high hopes)

[Verse 2]
Mama said, it's uphill for oddities
The stranger crusaders, ain't ever wannabes
The weird and the novelties don't ever change
We wanted everything, wanted everything (High, high hopes)

[Bridge]
Stay up on that rise
Stay up on that rise and never come down, oh
Stay up on that rise
Stay up on that rise and never come down

[Pre-Chorus]
Mama said don't give up, it's a little complicated
All tied up, no more love and I'd hate to see you waiting
They say it's all been done but they haven't seen the best of me-eh-eh-eh
So I got one more run and it's gonna be a sight to see-eh-eh-eh

[Bridge]
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing
Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes (High, high hopes)
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Didn't know how but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes (High, high hopes)

[Chorus]
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing
Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Didn't know how but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes (High, high hopes)

I spent too long not setting my expectations high enough, worried about how it felt to fail. I hit a point when I realized I had to aim high and fail, fail, fail in order to keep growing. This one is for all of you who helped me go for it all. I thank you.

失敗が怖くて、ずっと高い志なんて持てなかった。
でも、成長するためには高い所から落ちることも必要だって気付いたんだ。
