run a mile run a mile

'cos all the while

you're cramping my style cramp my style

bleeding me dry

grab a hold grab a hold

to steady your soul

and test if they're real test for real

all the spotlights you shone to help me

find needles in the hay

let them lift away

'cos i've got high hopes

i believe

in the roots that keep me complete

and i've got high hopes

all i need

is your hands to steady my feet steady my feet



you've sunken low sunken low

its another swift blow

and i know where you've been where have you

so don't feed off my skin

while i test if they're real test for real

all the stories you told to lift me

when good times went astray

let them lift away





'cos i've got high hopes

i believe

in the roots that keep me complete

and i've got high hopes

all i need

is your hands to steady my feet



we will lift away

'cos i've got high hopes

i believe

in the roots that keep me complete

and i've got high hopes

all i need

is your hands to steady my feet
