What's Up
The Divine Young Stars Lyrics

Twenty-five years and my life is still
After 25 years, I feel like my life hasn't progressed much.

Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
I am struggling to attain my goals and reach a better place in life.

For a destination
I am working hard and hoping to achieve something great.

I realized quickly when I knew I should
I had an epiphany and realized something I should have known earlier.

That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
I discovered that humanity is a single community and that we should all be kind to one another.

For whatever that means
Although I have understood that we should all be united, I am unsure about its exact implications.

And so I cry sometimes
I sometimes break down and cry when I feel overwhelmed by life.

When I'm lying in bed
These feelings usually surface when I am alone in bed at night.

Just to get it all out
I cry to release all the negative thoughts and emotions that have built up inside me.

What's in my head
I cry to clear my head and find peace of mind.

And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
I feel a bit strange and unusual, like something isn't quite right.

And so I wake in the morning
In the morning, as I awaken from sleep,

And I step outside
I walk outside and into the fresh air.

And I take a deep breath and I get real high
I inhale deeply and feel a sense of euphoria and lightness.

And I scream from the top of my lungs
I shout at the top of my voice,

What's going on?
Asking the question, what is happening around me?

And I say, Hey-ya-ya-yah
I sing out in a lively, cheerful way.

Hey-ya-yah
Continues the lively singing.

I said hey, what's going on?
I repeat the question, expressing my desire to understand what is happening.

Ooh, ooh
Interlude of nonsensical singing.

Oooooh
Continues the interlude of nonsensical singing.

Oooooh
Continues the interlude of nonsensical singing.

Ooh, ooh
Continues the interlude of nonsensical singing.

Oooooh
Continues the interlude of nonsensical singing.

Oooooh
Continues the interlude of nonsensical singing.

And I try, oh my god do I try
I put in a lot of effort and struggle to make things work.

I try all the time
I am constantly trying my best to achieve my goals.

In this institution
I am in a place where I must follow certain rules and routine, like a school or workplace.

And I pray, oh my god do I pray
I offer supplications and hope for divine intervention.

I pray every single day
I pray continuously, hoping for help and guidance in my life.

For a revolution
I am hoping for a great change or upheaval in society or in my personal life.

And I say, Hey-ya-ya-yah
I sing out with a sense of urgency and joy.

Hey-ya-yah
Continues the lively singing.

I said hey, what's going on?
I repeat the question, expressing my desperate desire for change and understanding.

And I say, Hey-ya-ya-yah
Continues the energetic singing.

Hey-ya-yah
Continues the lively singing.

I said hey, what's going on?
I reiterate the question, expressing my longing for resolution and understanding.

And I say, Hey-ya-ya-yah
Continues the energetic singing.
