High Hopes - Pink Floyd

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 who followed in our footsteps

Running before times took our dreams away

Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tieus to the ground

To a life consumed by slow decay

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 sleeping tide

at a higher altitude with flag unfurled

We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition

Theres a hunger still unsatisfied

Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon

Though down this road I've been so many times
