Pink Floyd: High Hopes

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young, in a world of magnets and miracles,

our thoughts trailed constantly and without boundary.

The ringing of the division bell had begun

Along the long road and on down the causeway

Do they still move there by the cut?

There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps

Running before time took our dreams away

Leaving the mirrored 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 the 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

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.
