[Verse 1]
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
Or whatever that means
[Pre-Chorus]
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
Sing to myself
What's going on?
[Chorus]
And I say hey hey yeah yeah
I said hey, what's going on?
And I say: hey hey yeah yeah
I said hey, what's going on?
Ooh, ooh ooooooooooooooooh
Ooh, ooh ooooooooooooooooh
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
I sing to myself
What's going on?
[Chorus]
And I say hey hey yeah yeah
I said hey, what's going on?
And I say: hey hey yeah yeah
I said hey, what's going on?
Ooh, ooh ooooooooooooooooh
Ooh, ooh ooooooooooooooooh
[Outro]
Twenty-five years I'm alive here still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
