High Hopes
RRSO Symphony Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There a lot to be learned, so look around
Just what makes that little old ant
Think he'll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can't
Move a rubber tree plant
He's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes
So any time your gettin' low
'Stead of lettin' go
Just remember that ant
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant
When troubles call, and your back's to the wall
There a lot to be learned, that wall could fall
Once there was a silly old ram
Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam
No one could make that ram, scram
He kept buttin' that dam
'Cause he had high hopes, he had high hopes
He had high apple pie, in the sky hopes
So any time your feelin' bad
'stead of feelin' sad
Just remember that ram
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam
All problems just a toy balloon
They'll be bursted soon
They're just bound to go pop
Oops there goes another problem kerplop
The RRSO Symphony Orchestra's song High Hopes is an inspirational track that teaches a lesson about the power of positivity and belief in oneself. The lyrics describe two scenarios where seemingly impossible tasks are being attempted by an ant and a ram. The first verse talks about the ant trying to move a rubber tree plant, which seems like an impossible feat, whereas the second verse speaks about the ram trying to punch a hole in a dam. Despite the odds, the ant and the ram have high hopes and believe that they will be able to accomplish their tasks. The chorus reiterates the message of the song: to always have high hopes and never give up.
The song emphasizes the importance of never giving up and always seeing the glass half full. It encourages listeners to stay positive when things get tough and to keep pushing towards their goals. The metaphor of the ant and the ram is used to illustrate this point. An ant is tiny and insignificant compared to a rubber tree plant, and a ram is not strong enough to punch a hole in a dam. However, their high hopes and belief in themselves give them the strength to keep going and accomplish the impossible.
Overall, High Hopes is a powerful and uplifting song that teaches listeners to never give up on their dreams and to always have faith in themselves. It is a reminder that even the smallest and seemingly weakest creatures can achieve greatness if they just believe in themselves.
