Twenty-five years and my life is still
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, hey hey hey
I said: Hey, what's going on?
And I say: Hey hey hey hey, hey hey hey
I said: Hey, 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 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, hey hey hey
I said: Hey, what's going on?
And I say: Hey hey hey hey, hey hey hey
I said: Hey, what's going on?

And I say: Hey hey hey hey, hey hey hey
I said: Hey, what's going on?
And I say: Hey hey hey 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
