G  
Twenty Five years and my life is still  
Am                                      C  
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope  
           G  
For a destination  
G  
I realized quickly when I knew that I should  
          Am                                   C  
That the world was made of this brotherhood of man  
                  G  
For whatever that means  

G                                      
And So I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed  
        Am  
Just to get it all out   
                       C                        G  
whats in my head and I, I am feeling a little peculiar.  
G   
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 at the top of my lungs  WHATS GOIN ON? 

G  
And I said Heyeyeyeyey   
Am

G     Am  C   G  
Ooh, Ooh Ooh  
      G                   Am  
And I try, oh my god do I try  
              C                  G  
I try all the time, in this institution  
      G                    Am  
And I pray, oh my god do I pray  
                    C  
I pray every single day  
          G  
For a revolution  

G                                      
And So I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed  
        Am  
Just to get it all out   
                       C                        G  
whats in my head and I, I am feeling a little peculiar.
