Story Behind The Song
Our approach to this song was spontaneous and free. David had been playing around with a guitar rhythm. We used the guitar rhythm for the midi track. The words were written earlier.

Lyrics
Revoevolution
My mother takes me away
And my father takes me far from home
To a land where angels roam
Antelopes and Cadillacs play
Revo-revolution
Astounding lights and flashes fly
Upon my eyes when I try to sleep
The ways of war and wails of men
Keep me from the peace I seek
Revoevolution
Oh, stars hold me in your arms
Shield me in your light and warm
Light and one and all
Chased and placed around the globe
My people have no home no family
To belong to land and mother earth
Mother take me home, take me home
Revoevolution
Oh, stars hold me in your arms
Shield me in your light and warm
Light and one and all
