High Hopes Lyrics - Highest Hopes - Nightwish

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young 

In a world of magnets and miracles 

Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary 

The ringing of the Division Bell had begun 

Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway 

Do they still meet there by the cut 

There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps 

Running before time took our dreams away 

Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground 

To a life consumed by slow decay

The grass was greener 

The light was brighter 

With friends surrounded 

The nights of wonder 

Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us 

To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side 

Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again 

Dragged by the force of some inner tide 

At a higher altitude with flag unfurled 

We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed-of world 

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition 

There's a hunger still unsatisfied 

Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon 

Though down this road we've been so many times 

Photos 

The grass was greener 

The light was brighter 

The taste was sweeter 

The nights of wonder 

With friends surrounded 

The dawn mist glowing 

The water flowing 

The endless river 

Forever and ever
