Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying 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, and 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, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah
I said, "Hey, what's going on?"
And I say, hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah
I said, "Hey, what's going on?"

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh

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 a revolution

And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out what's in my head, and 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, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah
I said, "Hey, what's going on?"
And I say, hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah
I said, "Hey, what's going on?"

And I say, hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, yeah-ye-ye
I said, "Hey, what's going on?"

Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh

Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
