Chris Rea - Tell Me There's 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
When mama calls me in for tea
On 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 they're happy now
They sit with God in paradise
With angels wings and still somehow
I makes me feel
Like ice

Tell me there's a heaven
Tell me that it's true
Tell me that there's a reason
Why I'm seeing what I do
Tell me there's a heaven
Where all those people go
Tell me that they're 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 bone
Is a step along the way
That every wrong done is a game plan
to the great and joyful day
And I'm looking at the father and the son
And I'm looking at the mother and the doughter
And I'm watching them in tears in pain
And I'm watching them suffer
Don't tell that little girl
Tell me

Tell me there's a heaven ...
