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 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 at the top of my lungs 
What's going on? 
And I say, hey hey hey hey 
I said hey, what's going on? 
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 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 at the top of my lungs 
What's going on? 
And I say, hey hey hey hey 
I said hey, what's going on? 
Twenty-five years and my life is still 

Trying to get up that great big hill of hope 
For a destination
