The Revelation lyrics

Chris

John, you were great. Can I see you alone?

I gotta know what you meant on the phone

What is this news you received you could only tell me?

John

A lot of groups use my Bangkok staff

To process problems on their behalf

We got this in from the embassy

It's not easy to tell you, it's best that you see

Chris

It's about Kim, isn't it?

Every day for a year how I tried to get word

Tell me first, nothing else, tell me, did she survive?

John

You must read the report, Chris

But yes, she's alive...

Chris

You don't know, John, these nightmares, the things that I've seen

I have seen her face burned, seen her shot with my gun

I have chased her through streets and I've only heard screams

What's wrong? Come on, there is still something more

John

She has a child

You have a son...

Chris

You won't believe me but I dreamed this, John

It's in the nightmare when I see Saigon

Jesus, John, I am married

Is this story for real?

John

I'm only telling you what I received

But our reports can usually be believed

Kim's a bar girl in Bangkok

Pal, I know how you feel

Chris

It's too late! I have a whole new life!

I was in love with Kim, but now I have a wife!

John

Listen, Chris, I know the shock you've had

There are solutions here, it isn't always bad

Chris

Oh John, I never told her

My wife, how can I tell her?

A child, what do I do?

I shattered Kim

Now Ellen too

John

I have learned the best thing for a couple to do

You should both come to Bangkok

I mean Ellen too

Chris

It's time to tell her

I have to tell her

Chris

Us both?

John

You both should go!

Chris

You may be right

But first... first, Ellen has to know
