CHRIS REA - Tell Me There's A Heaven lyrics

rate me

The little girl she said to me<br>What are these things that I can see<br>Each night when I come home from school<br>And mama calls me in for tea<br>Oh every night a baby dies<br>And every night a mama cries<br>What makes those men do what they do<br>To make that person black and blue<br>Grandpa says their happy now<br>They sit with God in paradise<br>With angels' wings and still somehow<br>It makes me feel like ice<br><br>Tell me there's a heaven<br>Tell me that it's true<br>Tell me there's a reason<br>Why I'm seeing what I do<br>Tell me there's a heaven<br>Where all those people go<br>Tell me they're all happy now<br>Papa tell me that it's so<br><br>So do I tell her that it's true<br>That there's a place for me and you<br>Where hungry children smile and say<br>We wouldn't have no other way<br>That every painful crack of bones<br>Is a step along the way<br>Every wrong done is a game plan<br>To that great and joyful day<br><br>And I'm looking at the father and the son<br>And I'm looking at the mother and the daughter<br>And I'm watching them in tears of pain<br>And I'm watching them suffer<br>Don't tell that little girl<br>Tell me<br>Tell me there's a heaven<br>Tell me that it's true<br>Tell me there's a reason<br>Why I'm seeing what I do<br><br>Tell me there's a heaven<br>Where all those people go<br>Tell me they're all happy now<br>Papa tell me that it's so
