25 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
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 deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs, “What’s goin’ on?!”
And I say, “Hey… hey…”
I said, “Hey, what’s goin’ on?!”
And I say, “Hey… hey…”
I said, “Hey, what’s goin’ 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 deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs, “What’s goin’ on?!”
And I say, “Hey… hey…”
I said, “Hey, what’s goin’ on?!”
And I say, “Hey… hey…”
I said, “Hey, what’s goin’ on?!”
And I say, “Hey… hey…”
I said, “Hey, what’s goin’ on?!”
And I say, “Hey… hey…”
I said, “Hey, what’s goin’ on?!”
25 years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope for a destination
