Translation
Bilingual
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 men do what they do?
To make that person black and blue
ย
Grandpa says they're 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
ย
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
ย
And I'm looking
At the father and the son
ย
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
ย
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
