Revelation *
I saw an old man walking by
I saw a woman start to cry
I saw him, I saw him
I saw an old man walking by
I saw an old man walking by
I saw a woman start to cry
I saw him, I saw him
I saw an old man walking by
I met an old man down in lebanon
been walking the streets since the day he was born
told me the story of palestine and the jews
most of it was old, all of it was in the news
Princes priests and diplomats
are trying to explain
The times that we are living in
the rumbling in my brain
It’s a recurring theme invading my senses
I’m lining up images all in a row
They’re blowing up bridges and cutting down fences
But I keep on moving but my moving is slow
When all is conquered said and done
When all the races have been run
I’m hoping for a place that I call home
I hope I meet my saviour there
I hope that he will judge me fair
When I’m gone
My mother she left me I don’t know where she went
perhaps she never arrived
I left home when I was four years old
I had to survive
