Revelation Lyrics

Somewhere in Vietnam
A nineteen year old soldier stumbled from a bar room
He said, "I must be seeing things
That bourbon hit me like a baseball bat"In Belfast, Ireland
A little lady dropped her shovel in her garden
As she raced across her yard
And asked her neighbor, Mrs. Clancy, "What was that?"In Memphis, Tennesse
A teacher raised the window closest to the river
And the children in her classroom
Swore they heard a choir singin' down the streetIn Washington, D.C.
A private secretary's lips began to quiver
And the President just put aside some papers
And rose quickly to his feetAnd I lay in a cheap motel
In the arms of someone else's woman
When a loud explosion rocked the room
And turned the morning into nightAnd I jumped out of bed
And ran into the street with hardly any clothes on
And as the sky lit up

My heart stood still and I could feel my face turn whiteAll at once the clouds rolled back
And there stood Jesus Christ in all his glory
And I realized the saddest eyes I'd ever seen
Were lookin' straight at meI guess I was awakened
By the penetrating sound of my own screaming
It didn't take me long to stumble out of bed
Fall down on my kneesAs tears rolled down my face
I cried "Dear God, I'm thankful I was only dreaming
And if I never go to hell, Lord
It will be because You scared it out of me"
