[Intro]
Revelation
Revelation
[Verse 1]
It's coming back to me now
You and I were meant to be together, and how
(Revelation)
(Revelation)
[Verse 2]
It seems like you've always been here
Now that you are, stay with me forever my dear
(Revelation)
(Revelation)
[Verse 3]
If ever (If ever), there was ever
Such a thing as time, ooh baby
It's useless, so useless to me now
For in your arms is everything, in your arms, everything
[Verse 4]
An army of haters, one by one
Will do what they will to everyone
But the task at hand until we see the sun
Is to keep doing you until you come to revelation
(Revelation)
(Revelation)
Revelation, oooh oh
(Can I play with it now?)
[Guitar Solo]
(Can I, can I play with it now?)
Ooh
[Verse 5]
It's all coming back to me now
Like it was deep in the ocean
I beat my sword into a plow (Sword into a plow)
And shared a heavenly potion (Heavenly potion)
With my future queen
Half east, half west, the truth's somewhere best in between
[Outro]
Through English glamour, casting a spell
Through Hebrew, Greek, and Roman hell
Higher 'til we overstand, the color of the Pharoah's hand
(The color of the Pharaoh's hand)
