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 in 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
