Twenty five years of my life and still
Tryin' to get up that great big hill of hope
for a destination
I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this
brotherhood of man
for whatever that means

And so I cry sometimes
when I'm lying in bed
just to get it all out what's in my head
then I, I am feeling, a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
and I scream from the top of my lungs
What's going on

And I say Hey yeah yeah hey hey
hey yeah yeah
I said Hey what's going on
And I say Hey yeah yeah hey hey
hey yeah yeah
I said Hey what's going on

And I try oh my God do I try
I try all the time in this institution
And I pray oh my God do I pray
I pray every single day for revolution

And so I cry sometimes
when I'm lying in bed
just to get it all out what's in my head
then I, I am feeling, a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
and I scream from the top of my lungs
What's going on

And I say Hey yeah yeah hey hey
hey yeah yeah
I said Hey what's going on
And I say Hey yeah yeah hey hey
hey yeah yeah
I said Hey what's going on

Say Hey yeah yeah hey hey
hey yeah yeah
I said Hey what's going on
And I say Hey yeah yeah hey hey
hey yeah yeah
I said Hey what's going on

Twenty five years of my life and still
Tryin' to get up that great big hill of hope
for a destination.
