A
25 years of my life and still
Bm
Tryin' to to get up that great big hill of
D                A
Hope, for a destination.
A
I realized quickly when I knew I should
        Bm
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of
D                      A
Man, for whatever that means.

Refrão:

A
And so I cry sometimes, when I'm lying in bed
        Bm                                  D
just to get all out, what's in my head, then I,
                         A
I am feeling, a little peculiar.
A
And so I wake in the morning, and I step outside
      Bm
And I take a deep breath, and I get real high, and
D                                                 A
I, scream from the top of my lungs, "What's going on?"

    A                            Bm
And I say,  "Hey yeah yeah hey,  hey yeah yeah."
        D                     A
I said  Hey,     what's going on?  (2x)

A                          Bm
And I try, oh my god, do I try
              D                  A
I try all the time, in this institution.
A                           Bm
And I pray, oh my god, do I pray
                      D              A
I pray every single   day, for a revolution.

And so I cry sometimes, when I'm lying in bed

                         A
