Текст Waylon Jennings – Revelation

Somewhere in Vietnam a 19-year-old soldier
Walked out of a barroom
And he said, I must be seeing things
That bourbon hit me like a baseball bat

In Memphis Tennessee a teacher
Raised the window, closest the river
And the children in her classroom swore
They’d heard a choir singing down the street
In Washington DC
A private secretary’s lips began to quiver
And the President just put aside his 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
As the sky lit up my heart stood still
And I could feel my face was turnin’ 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
I guess I was awakened by
The penetrating sounds of my own screamin’

As tears rolled down my face I cried
Dear God, I’m thankful I was only dreamin’
And if I never go to hell, Lord
It’ll be because you scared it out of me…
