The little girl she said to me
What are these things that I can see?
Each night when I come home from school
When momma calls me in for tea

Oh ev'ry night a baby dies
And ev'ry night a momma 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 angel's 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 seein' 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 ev'ry painful crack of bones
Is a step along the way
Ev'ry wrong done is a game plan
To that great and joyful day

An' I'm lookin' at the father and the son
An' I'm lookin' at the mother and the daughter
An' I'm watchin' them in tears of pain
An' I'm watchin' 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 seein' 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
