What's Up?

What's Up
4 Non Blondes


Twenty - five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
And I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of 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 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?
Ooh, ooh ooh
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 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 

It's funny that I've been singing this song for comedic reasons ever since the song came out but it had to be pointed out to me in a quarterlife crisis forum page that the song is actually a cry for help from someone who is experiencing QC. I even know how to play it in the guitar! Hehe.

The age (25) is fairly accurate (if you live to a hundred) and the question, "What's going on?" is a constant. 4 Non Blondes (or whoever wrote the song) were right. Might as well write a song about what they were feeling. Might as well earn from it too. Hehe.

So, as everyone is trying to get up that great big hill of hope for a destination, let's keep on asking, "What's up?" and may we slowly realize that what we're looking for is within us and the decisions that we make are what's going to be us in the future.

For now, let's take a deep breath and get real high.
