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 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 from 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
