   G                             Am
1. 25 years of my life and still,   tryin' to to get up that great big hill of 
     C                G
    hope, for a destination.   
    I realized quickly when I knew I should ,
              Am
    that the world was made up of this brotherhood of 
     C                      G
    man, for whatever that means. 
              G
    And so I cry sometimes, when I'm lying in bed
            Am
    just to get it all out, what's in my head, then 
    C                            G
    I, I am feeling, a little peculiar.
    And so I wake in the morning, and I step outside 
           Am
    And I take a deep breath, and I get real high, and 
    C                                                 G
    I, scream from the top of my lungs, "What's going on?" 
             G                 Am
And I say, "Hey yeah yeah hey, hey yeah yeah."  
          C                 G
I said, "Hey, what's going on?"
                               Am
And I say, "Hey yeah yeah hey, hey yeah yeah."
          C                G          
I said, "Hey, what's going on?"

2. And I try, oh my God, do I try, I try all the time, in this institution. 
                                Am                        C                   
   And I pray, oh my God, do I pray, I pray every single day,

    for a revolution.
