PLAYING FOR A CHANGE – “What’s Up?” (4 Non Blondes)

And so I wake in the morning And I step outside And I take deep breath And I get real high And I scream from the top of my lungs What’s going on?

Twenty-five years And my life is still I’m trying 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 For this brotherhood of man For whatever that means

And so I cry sometimes When I’m lying in bed Just to get it all out What’s in my head And I, I am feeling A little peculiar

And so I wake in the morning And I step outside And I take 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-eah Hey, yeah, yeah I said, hey! What’s goin’ on?

And I sing, hey, yeah, yeah-eah Hey, yeah, yeah I said, hey! What’s going on?

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

And so I cry sometimes When I’m lying in bed Just to get it all out What’s in my head And I, I am feeling A little peculiar

And so I wake in the morning And I step outside And I take 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-eah Hey, yeah, yeah I said, hey! What’s goin’ on?

And I sing, hey, yeah, yeah-eah Hey, yeah, yeah I said, hey! What’s going on?

And I say, hey, yeah, yeah-eah Hey, yeah, yeah I said, hey! What’s goin’ on?

And I sing, hey, yeah, yeah-eah Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I said, hey! What’s going on?

Twenty-five years And my life is still I’m trying to get up That great big hill of hope For a destination
