High Hopes
MIDIFine Systems Lyrics

Next time you're found
The next time you find yourself in a tough situation

With your chin on the ground
Feeling defeated and hopeless

There a lot to be learned
There is always a lesson to be learned from any situation

So look around
Take a step back and try to see the bigger picture

Just what makes that little old ant
What motivates a small and insignificant creature like an ant

Think he'll move that rubber tree plant
Believe that it can move a large and heavy object like a rubber tree plant

Anyone knows an ant, can't
It is generally understood that an ant cannot move a rubber tree plant

Move a rubber tree plant
Successfully move a large and heavy object

But he's got high hopes
Despite the odds, the ant still has optimistic expectations

He's got high hopes
The ant is hopeful and confident

He's got high apple pie
He dreams of achieving great success

In the sky hopes
His aspirations are very high

So any time you're gettin' low
Whenever you feel discouraged or hopeless

'Stead of lettin' go, just remember that ant
Instead of giving up, remember the optimistic ant and its determination

Oops, there goes another rubber tree plant
The ant's perseverance pays off and it achieves its goal

When troubles call
When faced with difficulties

And your back's to the wall
When you feel trapped or cornered

There a lot to be learned
There are still many lessons to be learned in those situations

That wall could fall
There is always a way out, even if it seems impossible

Once there was a silly old ram
A story about a foolish and persistent ram

Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam
Believed he could make a significant impact on a large and sturdy structure like a dam

No one could make that ram, scram
Nobody could intimidate or stop the ram from trying to achieve its goal

He kept buttin' that dam
He persistently and aggressively kept trying to break down the dam

'Cause he had high hopes
Despite the odds, the ram remained hopeful and determined

He had high hopes
The ram was very optimistic and believed in its abilities

He had high apple pie
He dreamed of achieving something great

In the sky hopes
His aspirations were very high

So any time you're feelin' bad
Whenever you feel down, sad or discouraged

'Stead of feelin' sad, just remember that ram
Instead of giving in to negative feelings, remember the ram and its determination

Oops, there goes a billion kilowatt dam
The ram's persistence and determination pays off and it succeeds in breaking down the dam

All problems just a toy balloon
All problems are small and insignificant in the grand scheme of things

They'll be bursted soon, they're just bound to go pop
All problems are temporary and will eventually be solved

Oops, there goes another problem kerplop
Confidently and successfully solving one problem after another

Oops, there goes another problem kerplop
Overcoming challenges with ease and confidence

Oops, there goes another problem kerplop, kerplop
Successfully overcoming multiple challenges with ease and confidence
