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 been 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
