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
n 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 re - - velation
it was a revelation, a revelation to me.
