25 years of my life and still
I’m 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
chorus:
‘n so I cry sometimes when I’m lying in bed
just to get it all out what’s in my head
‘n I, I’m feeling a little peculiar
‘n so I wake in the morning and I step outside
‘n I take a deep breath
‘n I get real high
‘n I scream from the top of my lungs
what’s goin’ on
and I say hey-ey-ey… (jodel-di-dodel…)
and I said hey what’s going on
and I say hey… etc. (uh! uu-uuhu-huhuuuu…)
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 ev’ry single day
for a revolution
(chorus)
25 years of my life and still
I’m trying to get up that great big hill of hope
