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 mother 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
|
Father tell me that it's so
|
|
Tell me there's a heaven
|
|
Tell me
|
|
