Twenty-five years
and my life is still
Trying to get up that
great big hill of hope
for a destination
And 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'm feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake up
in the morning
and I step outside
And I take a deep breath
and I get real high
And I scream
at the top of my lungs
What's going on
And I say hey eh eh yeah
Hey eh yeah
I said Hey what's going on
And I say hey eh eh yeah
Hey eh yeah
I said Hey what's going on
Ooh oooooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh 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'm feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake up
in the morning
and I step outside
And I take a deep breath
and I get real high
And I scream
at the top of my lungs
What's going on
And I say hey eh eh yeah
Hey eh yeah
I said Hey what's going on
And I say hey eh eh yeah
Hey eh yeah
I said Hey what's going on
And I say hey eh eh yeah
Hey eh yeah
I said Hey what's going on
Ooh oooooh
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
