High Hopes
Gabriela Bee Lyrics

Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Despite having no resources or money, I had unrelenting ambition to succeed in life.

Shooting for the stars when I couldn′t make a killing
I aimed to achieve great success despite being unable to make much money initially.

Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision
Even though I had no money, I had a clear idea of what I wanted to achieve in life.

Always had high, high hopes
I always maintained high expectations of myself and my future.

Didn′t know how but I always had a feeling
Although I didn't know exactly how to achieve my goals, I had a strong intuition that I would find a way.

I was gonna be that one in a million
I believed that I was destined to be the one person out of many who would succeed against all odds.

Mama said, fulfill the prophecy
My mother encouraged me to fulfill my destiny and make a lasting impact on the world.

Be something greater, go make a legacy
My mother encouraged me to strive for greatness and make a lasting impact on the world.

Manifest destiny, back in the days
In the past, people believed that they were meant to achieve great things and make a significant impact on the world, just as I believe now.

Mama said, burn your biographies
My mother encouraged me to forget the past and focus on creating a brighter future for myself.

Rewrite your history, light up your wildest dreams
I needed to let go of the past and focus on creating an even better future by pursuing my wildest ambitions.

Museum victories, every day
Every day, I am working to create victories that will become part of my lasting legacy, like accomplishments displayed in a museum.

Mama said, don't give up
My mother encouraged me to never give up on my dreams, even when things are difficult.

It's a little complicated
Although achieving my goals is challenging and complex, it is worth pursuing.

All tied up, no more love
Despite feeling overwhelmed and emotionally drained, I refuse to give up on my dreams.

And I′d hate to see you waiting
I don't want to waste my time waiting when I could be actively pursuing my dreams.

It's uphill for oddities
Achieving success is even more challenging for someone who doesn't fit in with societal norms or expectations.

The stranger crusaders, ain′t ever wannabes
People like me, who are unique and marching to the beat of their own drum, are the ones who will truly succeed, not those who conform to society's expectations.

The weird and the novelties don't ever change
No matter how strange or unconventional someone may seem, they should never change who they are in order to fit in and achieve success.

Stay up on that rise
I need to stay on the upward trajectory towards achieving my goals.

Stay up on that rise and never come down, oh
I need to maintain my momentum and never give up on my dreams.

They say it's all been done
Many people believe that there is nothing new or groundbreaking that can be achieved in this world.

But they haven′t seen the best of me-eh-eh-eh
I believe that I can achieve greatness and make a significant impact on the world, even if others don't initially believe in me.

So I got one more run
I have one more chance or opportunity to achieve my goals and make an impact on the world.

And it's gonna be a sight to see-eh-eh-eh
My success will be something incredible, remarkable, and inspiring to others.
