Revelations

I went to the ukraine
they dont have much to eat
no sugar on the table
but the people stay sweet

ive been to the third world
theyve 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 been seen
butter mountains and wine lakes
that much food its obscene

now you can label me stupid
or naive with this song
but when children are starving
i know whats right and whats wrong

it was a revelation a revelation
a revelation to me.
