Tell Me Theres A Heaven

The little girl she said to me
What are these things that I can see
Each night when I come home from school
And mama calls me in for tea
Oh every night a baby dies
And every night a mama cries
What makes those men do what they do
To make that person black and blue
Grandpa says their happy now
They sit with God in paradise
With angels wings and still somehow
It makes me feel like ice
Tell me theres a heaven
Tell me that its true
Tell me theres a reason
Why Im seeing what I do
Tell me theres a heaven
Where all those people go
Tell me theyre all happy now
Papa tell me that its so
So do I tell her that its true
That theres a place for me and you
Where hungry children smile and say
We wouldnt have no other way
That every painful crack of bones
Is a step along the way
Every wrong done is a game plan
To that great and joyful day
And Im looking at the father and the son
And Im looking at the mother and the daughter
And Im watching them in tears of pain
And Im watching them suffer
Dont tell that little girl
Tell me
Tell me theres a heaven
Tell me that its true
Tell me theres a reason
Why Im seeing what I do
Tell me theres a heaven
Where all those people go
Tell me theyre all happy now
Papa tell me that its so
