Twenty-five years of my life
And still I'm 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 of my life
And still I'm trying to get up
That great big hill of hope
For a destination
