“Thanks for actually putting children’s books in so many kids hands through the imagination library dolly. We got our latest book last week and our family is thrilled to get books in the mail from someone who truly uses her voice for goodness in the world.”

“This was my “theme song” when I was going through a dark time while in the military. I was “25 yrs and my life was still.. trying to get up that great big hill…” This song helped me through that tough time in a world of an “institution of men.” Thank you, THANK you for this incredible song!”

What’s Up Lyrics
[Intro: Dolly Parton]
Mhm, mm
Mm, mm
[Verse 1: Dolly Parton]
All of these years and my life is still
Just tryin’ 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 by this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
[Pre-Chorus: Dolly Parton]
And so I cry sometimes when I’m lyin’ in bed
Just to get it all out, what’s in my head
And I, I’m feelin’ a little peculiar
And so I wake up in the mornin’ 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 goin’ on?”
[Chorus: Dolly Parton, Dolly Parton & Linda Perry]
And then I say, “Hey, yeah, yeah, hey
Hey, yеah, yeah“
I say, “Hey
What’s goin’ on?“
Then I say, “Hеy, yeah, yeah, hey
Hey, yeah, yeah“
I say, “Hey
What’s goin’ on?“
[Post-Chorus: Dolly Parton]
Mhm, mm
Mhm
[Verse 2: Dolly Parton]
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 resolution
[Pre-Chorus: Dolly Parton, Dolly Parton & Linda Perry]
And so I cry sometimes when I’m lyin’ in bed
Just to get it all out, what’s in my head
And I, I’m feelin’ a little peculiar
And so I wake up in the mornin’ 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 goin’ on?“
[Chorus: Dolly Parton, Dolly Parton & Linda Perry]
And then I say, “Hey, yeah, yeah, hey
Hey, yeah, yeah“
I say, “Hey
What’s goin’ on?“
Then I say, “Hey, yeah, yeah, hey
Hey, yeah, yeah“
I say, “Hey
What’s goin’ on?“
[Bridge: Dolly Parton]
Mm, mm
Mm
[Chorus: Dolly Parton, Dolly Parton & Linda Perry]
Then I say, “Hey, yeah, yeah, hey
Hey, yeah, yeah“
I say, “Hey
What’s goin’ on?“
Then I say, “Hey, yeah, yeah, hey” (Oh, no, no, no, no, no)
“Hey, yeah, yeah” (Hey, yeah, yeah)
I say, “Hey
What’s goin’ on?“
[Outro: Dolly Parton]
After all these years, my life is still
Tryin’ to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
