Revelation Lyrics - Revelation - Joe Nichols

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 to ask 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 street 

In Washington, D.C. a private secretary's lips began to quiver 

And the President just put aside some papers and rose quickly to his feet 

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 night 

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 white 

All 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 me
