Tell Me There's A Heaven Lyrics - Rea Chris

The little girl she said to me 

"What are these things that I can see 

Each night when I come home from school 

When mama calls me in for tea?" 

Oh every night a baby dies 

And every night a mama cries 

What makes those me do what they do 

To make that person black and blue 

Grandpa says they're happy now 

They sit with God in paradise 

With angel's wings and still somehow 

It makes me feel 

Like Ice 

Tell me there's heaven 

Tell me that it's true 

Tell me there's a reason 

Why I'm seeing what I do 

Tell me there's heaven 

Where all those people go 

Tell me that they're happy now 

Papa tell me that it's so 

So do I tell here that it's true 

That there's 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 heaven 

Tell me that it's true 

Tell me there's a reason 

Why I'm seeing what I do 

Tell me there's heaven 

Where all those people go 

Tell me that they're happy now 

Papa tell me that it's so
