High Hopes & Lofty Dreams

Oh yes I remember days

Sitting around

Talking about how we would one day get out.

Yes I remember high hopes and lofty dreams.

When did we learn the taste of dirt?

When did we figure out how to hurt?

Oh when did we fall so far down?

Forever in a cage of your own making;

Why am I the only one whose heart is breaking?

Please remember with me

All the things you wanted to be,

The places we said we’d go.

Yes I know,

The world has broken all of us down;

But even crippled I’ll cross this broken ground

I just wish it wasn’t alone.

So young with high hopes and lofty dreams,

How long ago it seems.

Now the hole you said you’d never dig

Has gotten too big,

All I can hope is that it doesn’t become your grave.

I wish I could save

I wish there was a spark to turn to flame

But I can’t push what isn’t there.

Can you even remember,

Our high hopes and lofty dreams?

How we always said tomorrow

But tomorrow has come and gone.

Now all that remains

Are shadows and old songs.

I took my tomorrow

And I made it my today

And even crippled with dust in my mouth

I can smile because I found a way out.
