Revelation Lyrics

(Roger Taylor)

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
