Twenty-five years and my life is still 
 Tryin' 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 a deep breath and I get real high 
 And I scream from the top of my lungs: What's going on?   
 And I say: Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey 
 I said: Hey! A-what's going on? 
 And I say: Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey 
 I said: Hey! A-what's going 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 a deep breath and I get real high 
 And I scream from the top of my lungs: What's going on?   
 And I say: Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey 
 I said: Hey! A-what's going on? 
 And I say: Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey 
 I said: Hey! A-what's going on?   
 And I say: Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey (wake in the morning and I step outside) 
 Hey-ey-ey (take a deep breath and I get real high) 
 I said: Hey! A-what's going on? 
 And I say: Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey (wake in the morning and I step outside) 
 Hey-ey-ey (take a deep breath and I get real high) 
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I said: Hey! A-what's going on?   
 Twenty-five years and my life is still 
 Tryin' to get up that great big hill of hope 
 For a destination, mm
