Twenty-five years and my life is 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
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-ey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
I said: Hey! A-what's going on?
And I say: Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
I said: Hey! A-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 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-ey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
I said: Hey! A-what's going on?
And I say: Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
I said: Hey! A-what's going on?

And I say: Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey (wake in the morning and I step outside)
Hey-ey-ey (take a deep breath and I get real high)
I said: Hey! A-what's going on?
And I say: Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey (wake in the morning and I step outside)
Hey-ey-ey (take a deep breath and I get real high)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I said: Hey! A-what's going on?

Twenty-five years and my life is still
Tryin' to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination, mm!
