What's Going On Lyrics

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

[refrain]
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 ?
ooh. ooh ooh
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

[refrain]

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
ooh ooh ooh

twenty-five years and my life is still
trying to get up that great big hill of hope
for a destination
