Saw the wind pick up
Saw the sails come down
Saw every piece of that house failing now
Saw it come crumbling
See it come stumbling now
See the sun go down
Behind the horizon on that empty town
I see that wind pick up
See it fill every piece of that sail now
High hopes
We hope you'll understand
My oath
I'll work back for you man
My family
We need this piece of land
High hopes
We hope you'll understand
See it come again
See it crumbling
We need this
So I'll keep it for you man
High hopes
High hopes
High hopes
We hope you'll understand
High hopes
High hopes
High hopes
We hope you'll understand
