Verse 1:
Tell it to the world, tell it to the world right now.
An With a life that’s so amazing
It always seems to chase me all the time

Verse 2:
Say it with a word, say it with a word right now
Baby have you heard, maybe have the heard it now
And if the sun would ignite my memory
Maybe it’s John Henry with a smile

Bridge:
Once in awhile, we remember the cries
Burning for a change

Chorus:
High hopes and expectations
Selling dreams to a shattered nation
We’re holding on
With better days to come
Who knows the situation
Yesterday’s news showed no probation
We’re holding on
With better days to come
It’s gonna be alright

Verse 3:
Falling into pieces, standing on your knees, right now
Maybe you don’t mind, maybe you don’t mind by now, ah how
Don’t say it’s stormy weather
Acting like a feather, all the time

Bridge:
Once in awhile, we remember the cries
Burning for a change

Chorus:
High hopes and expectations
Selling dreams to the shattered nation
We’re holding on
With better days to come
Who knows the situation
Yesterday’s news showed no probation
Holding on
With better days to come
It’s gonna be alright
Its gonna be alright

Chorus:
High hopes and expectations
Selling dreams to the shattered nation
We’re holding on
With better days to come
Who knows the situation
Yesterday’s news showed no probation
We’re holding on
With better days to come
It’s gonna be alright
