Pink Floyd - High Hopes - The Division Bell

High Hopes

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 begin

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 night 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

Enumbered 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 time

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

*Any correction about the lyrics will be well received, thx for watching it

[DisposableTeenIn1984]

This song feels like adolescence.

[aryasangha]

When I am going through hard times in life I always listen to this song and it reaches deep down inside of me and speaks to me.. letting me know I'm not the only one who feels the way I do. I want this song played at my funeral when I die so people understand what it means to be human and to be alive and not take life for granted.

@snowboardrock7 I'm only 13 so this makes me think of how easy it is to be all jaded and cynical in this time period and how cool it would be to live in a different society.

?CORRECTION:

"ENCUMBERED forever by desire and ambition"

or at least that's how I hear it :/
