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
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 from the top of my lungs
What's goin' on?
And I say hey hey hey hey, I said hey, 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 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 from the top of my lungs
What's goin' on?
And I say hey hey hey hey, I said hey, what's going on?
And I say hey hey hey hey, I said hey, what's going on?
ooh, ooh, ooh...
