Revelation

I went to the Ukraine they don't have much to eat

no sugar on the table but the people stay sweet

I've been to the third world they've got nothing but hope

through the starving and dying sometimes somehow they cope

it was a revelation - a revelation - a revelation to me

I've been to the u.s. promised land of the free

with the workless and homeless begging on every street

it was a revelation - a revelation - a revelation to me

revelation, it was a revelation

and right here I an Europe far as can be seen

butter mountains and wine lakes that much food it's obscene

now you can label me stupid or naive with this song

but when children are starving i know what's right and what's wrong

it was a revelation - a revelation - a revelation to me

revelation, it was a revelation, revelation, it was a revelation

it was a revelation, a revelation to me.
