Twenty-five years and my life is still…Tueny-faif yiers an’ ma’ laif is estil
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope… Tshrayin’ tu guerap dat greit big jil of joup
For a destination… For a destineishon
And I realized quickly when I knew I should… ‘ Ay rialaiz’ kuikly wuen ay niu a’ shud
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man… Dat de wuorl’ wuas meirap of dis brotderjuud of man
For whatever that means… For wuarever dat miins

And so I cry sometimes… N’ so a’ cray somtaims
When I’m lying in bed… Wuen a’m layin’ in bed
Just to get it all out… Yos’ tu guere’ ol au’
What’s in my head… Wuats in ma’ jeed
And I am feeling a little peculiar… En’ a’m fiilin’ a lirel pekiuliar
And so I wake in the morning… En’ so ay wueik in de mornin’
And I step outside… An’ ay estep ausai’
And I take a deep breath and I get real high… Enay teik a diip bretd enay guet riel jai’
And I scream at the top of my lungs… An ay eskriim at de tap of may longs
What’s going on?… Wuats goin’ on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey… Ina’ seee, jey yieeee yie eee ee, jey yie yiee
I said hey, what’s going on?… A seee jey, wuats goin’ on?

And I say, hey hey hey hey… Ina’ seee, jey yieeee yie eee ee, jey yie yiee
I said hey, what’s going on?… A seee jey, wuats goin’ on?
ooh, ooh ooh… Uuh, uuh, uuuuuuuh. uuuuuuuuh

ooh, ooh ooh… Uuh, uuh, uuuuuuuh. uuuuuuuuh uuuuuuh
and I try, oh my god do I try… Ena’ tshray, oh may gad du a’ tshray
I try all the time, in this institution… A’ tshray ol de taim, in dis institushon
And I pray, oh my god do I pray… Anay prey, oh may gad du a’ prey
I pray every single day… A’ prey evry singuel dey
For a revolution… For revolushooon
And so I cry sometimes
When I’m lying in bed
Just to get it all out
What’s in my head
And 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 at the top of my lungs
What’s going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what’s going on?
Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
