Solo (The Intro Riff...only one time) And now the Lyrics: 25 years of my life and still Tryin' to 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. And so I cry sometimes, when I'm lying in bed just to get all out, what's in my head, then I, 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 from the top of my lungs, "What's going on?" And I say, "Hey yeah yeah hey, hey yeah yeah." I said, "Hey, what's going on?" And I say, "Hey yeah yeah hey, hey yeah yeah." 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. 25 years of my life and still Tryin' to get up that great big hill of Hope, for a destination. . . That is all...
