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 |
