lyrics
Rub that sleep, son, out, out of your eyes
Out of your eyes
Sky is shining now, now you must rise
Now you must rise
And I know that you've been tired, I do
Know that you've been lonely, too
We would lift you out, out of this place
Out of this place
Clear the tracks of tears off, off of your face
Off of your face
And we know that you've been tired, we do
Know that you've been lonely, too
Yes we know that you've been low, it's true
But we've got high hopes for you
We've got high hopes for you
When you're carrying the world on your shoulders
And you're feeling like you're ten years older
We don't doubt that you're gonna pull through because
We'e got high hopes, and we put 'em on you
Keep walking that narrow line
Put your best foot forward, it'll work out fine if you
Hold on, hold on, hold on
High hopes, so high
