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 lyin' 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, yea, yea, yea, yea
Hey, yea, yea
I said hey, what's going on?

And I say hey, yea, yea, yea, yea
Hey, yea, yea
I said hey, what's going on?

Ooh, oooh, oooh
Ooh, oooh, oooh

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 lyin' in bed
Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I, I am feelin' 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, yea, yea, yea, yea
Hey, yea, yea
I said hey, what's going on?

And I say hey, yea, yea, yea, yea
Hey, yea, yea
I said hey, oh, what's going on?

And I say hey, yea, yea, yea, yea
Hey, yea, yea
I said hey, oh, what's going on?

And I say hey, yea, yea, yea, yea
Hey, yea, yea, yea, yea,yea
I said hey, what's going on?

Ooh, oooh, oooh

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