[G]Twenty-five years and my life is still
[Am] Trying to get up that great big hill of [C] hope
For a destin[G]ation

That the [Am] world was madde up of a brotherhood of[C]man
Or whatever that [G] means
[G] Twenty-five years and my life is still
[Am] Trying to get up that great big hill of [C] hope

Just to [Am] get it all out what's in my head
And [C] I, I'm feeling a little pe[G]culiar
And so I [G] wake in the morning and I step outside
And I [Am]take a deep breath and I get real high
And I [C] scream at the top of my lungs WHAT'S GOING [G] ON?

I try all the [C] time, in this insti-[G]tution
And I [G] pray, oh my God do I [Am] pray, I pray every single [C] day
For a revo-[G]lution
And so I [G] cry sometimes, when I'm lying in bed
Just to [Am] get it all out what's in my head
And [C] I, I'm feeling a little pe[G]culiar
And so I [G] wake in the morning and I step outside
And I [Am]take a deep breath and I get real high
And I [C] scream at the top of my lungs WHAT'S GOING [G] ON?
And I say [G] hey-e-e-e-y [Am] he-e-e-y [C] he-e-e-y WHAT'S GOING [G] ON?

Slowly...
[G] Twenty-five years and my life is still
[Am] Trying to get up that great big hill of [C] hope
