Revelation

Taylor Roger

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
