Tell Me There's A Heaven Lyrics - Chris Rea

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 there's a heaven 

Tell me that it's true 

Tell me there's a reason 

Why I'm seeing what I do

Tell me there's a heaven 

Where all those people go 

Tell me they're all happy now 

Papa tell me that it's so 

So do I tell her that it's true 

That there's a place for me and you 

Where hungry children smile and say 

We wouldn't 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 I'm looking at the father and the son 

And I'm looking at the mother and the daughter 

And I'm watching them in tears of pain 

And I'm watching them suffer

Don't tell that little girl 

Tell me 

Tell me there's a heaven 

Tell me that it's true 

Tell me there's a reason 

Why I'm seeing what I do 

Tell me there's a heaven 

Where all those people go 

Tell me they're all happy now 

Papa tell me that it's so
