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, 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 at the top of my lungs, what’s going 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?
And I say, hey hey hey hey, I said hey, what’s going on?
Ooh, ooh ooh…
Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope for a destination.
