This ain't the road I would've chosen
Driving with headlights that can't cut through the rain
But I'm headed some place where this storm is broken
Carried by something stronger than this pain
But when all this heavy tries to pull me low
And when I'm looking for heaven here below
You keep me hanging on
To high hopes
I'm good no matter what
Tomorrow holds
I know who's got the power
I know who's in control
I won't stay down for long
Cause You keep me hanging on
To high hopes
To high hopes
So I'm pressing on against the darkness
A voice still inside me is telling me not to quit
I'm headed some place where the dawn is broken even though
I don't know when that day is
But when all this heavy tries to pull me low
And when I'm looking for heaven here below
You keep me hanging on
To high hopes
I'm good no matter what
Tomorrow holds
I know who's got the power
I know who's in control
I won't stay down for long
Cause You keep me hanging on
To high hopes
To high hopes
When I'm a dried up weary soul
I've got a river that overflows
It comes straight from the good Lord, yeah
It comes straight from the good Lord
When I'm a dried up weary soul
I've got a river that overflows
It comes straight from the good Lord, yeah
It comes straight from the good Lord
You keep me hanging on
To high hopes
I'm good no matter what
Tomorrow holds
I know who's got the power
I know who's in control
I won't stay down for long
Cause You keep me hanging on
To high hopes
To high hopes
To high hopes
