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 some children playing round
I saw them play but heard no sound
I saw them, I saw them
I saw some children playing round

I saw some mansions falling down
I saw a house without a town
I saw them, I saw them
I saw some mansions falling down

I saw a dog that left its home
I saw a girl who lived alone
I saw her, I saw her
I saw a girl who lived alone

I saw a nation on its knees
I saw the fire through the trees
I saw it, I saw it
I saw a nation on its knees

I saw a river rising high
I saw it cover what was dry
I saw it, I saw it
I saw a river rising high

I saw the mountain capped with snow
I felt the cold and icy flow
I saw it, I saw it
I saw the mountain capped with snow

I prayed for God to hear my prayer
I saw him sit down in my chair
I saw him, I saw him
I saw him sit down in my chair

I saw some slaves becoming free
I saw them walking towards me
I saw them, I saw them
I saw some slaves becoming free

I gave a stranger bread and wine
I dressed him up so he looked fine
I dressed him, I dressed him
I gave a stranger bread and wine
