Rea, Chris - Tell Me There's A Heaven Lyrics






The little girl she said to me
What are these things that I can see
Each night when I come home from school
And 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
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
Papa tell me that it's so

Rea, Chris Tell Me There's A Heaven Comments
  1. e.... ....

    I remember in police academy when we were being taught in homicide investigation, our teacher a 40 year veteran who retired our class, who was detective for a police officer homicide and interrogating the man responsible, remembers a video by a deputy of pictures of riley ann sawyers (god bless her soul) over this song.

    Fully admits to weeping when he saw the video when his first grandchild was born

  2. _.... L....

    My grandpa died today. I'm confused i can't comprehend he's gone. I cried a lot now I feel numb. I tell myself it's okay because he finally reunited with grandma. I love you grandpa❤️

  3. V.... Z....

    Невероятная Красота-и Небесная и Музыкальная!

  4. I.... ....

    make me sick....ahayah lets it happen..

  5. A.... ....

    Thinking of Kobe Bryant and his family and friends. R.I.P
    Chris can write/ sing songs about feelings we sometimes can't explain to others in such a beautiful way.
    There is a heaven....

  6. M.... F....

    This song's celebrating 30 years of existence and its messages are still relevant...Trust me when I say you listen to this song your first time and you'll either cry, think, or just be angry about how the world continues turning in violence and hatred while innocents suffer everywhere.

  7. C.... W....

    RIP Anthony,Carly🎄Gianna

    Ну согласитесь. ЛЮДИ..ДОБРЫЕ ЭТО КРИС. ВЕСЬ ШИК МУЗЫКИ БЛЕСК И В ЦВЕТ👍👋👋👋👍🎄🏆🏝️😎💕😍💋👍👋👋👋

    Ahayha Kill All??

  12. �.... �....

    Не перевершено!!!!!!!! ЛАЙК!

  13. B.... B....

    That's got to be the most saddest song ever written.. I listened once to it... Never again..

  14. J.... C....

    Very strong lyircs... If he is, why allow all this?!! Better by Far to Embrace the Hard Truth Than a Reassuring Fable.

  15. S.... C....

    What a track

  16. I.... M....

    Chris wrote this song because one day he came home at lunchtime and saw his daughter crying in front of the TV,she had been watching people getting stoned to death in South Africa,she asked Chris will they be in heaven,he could not answer her,so he got his father to explain that there was a heaven,That is why he wrote the song,You Must Be Evil,which was all about the news media showing something like that on TV,more so in the afternoon.

  17. A.... R....

    There is no words I know that can justify the pain this song is about - An absolutely beautiful and stunning song - Mr Chris Rea this is wonderful

  18. B.... S....

    #Great Singer with a very touching song

  19. m.... c....

    Chris Rea is my all times
    Favorite singer

  20. K.... R....

    Such a profound song - it’s a family centric connection for us to connect to our families who have passed. (The real words and meaning are much darker ). Where Chris came from had some issues with abuse and this is explains the upside of those poor kids who suffered.

  21. e.... ....

    My lieutenant in police academy played this video over photos of riley ann sawyers (a girl who was abused to death by the hands of a horrible human being called her father and her so called mother) and said when he saw this video before his granddaughter was born, he was weeping, just wondering "how could something so horrible happen to such an innocent soul"

  22. J.... B....

    So.. sad song but beautyful song too I ❤❤❤😥😥

  23. L.... l....

    😔💙💧

  24. W.... M....

  25. M.... W....

    There is a home we all belong and it is not here on this earth .

  26. M.... F....

    I'm glad that I got to hear this song...Thank you Blue Channel!

  27. r.... A....

    There is a heaven not only for children but to all those who accept Jesus as their Lord, and Savior, Jesus beat death on the cross and we are made in his image.and the scripture clearly says Jesus is clearly parcel to the little children.The word his word tells all

  28. r.... A....

    Beautiful, I love all his music, This song is so real

    r.... A....

    And sadly truthful,amen

    r.... A....

    @rosemaryalderson Alderson We need more soulful artists like Chris Rea today but where are they??

    r.... A....

    @Mikey_Suze Four where are all the saints, people who love one another as Jesus says, we just need to just pray, and trust Jesus guidance.Amen, and pray for the angels to sing just as we are listening to now

    r.... A....

    Yes, it is not the world, Mayberry I grew up in and I have learned to rely on Jesus and his word, because,Satan trys to whisper things to us, and we need to know his word and stand on it, and pray and put on God's armor, helmet of salvation, breatplate of righteousness, feet, for a walk of peace and truth, Amen

  29. a.... ....

    Baby P..such a very sad case that I followed up!
    There is a Heaven and there will be a Day of Judgement!
    Jesus Himself promised a heavy punishment for those who molest n abuse n murder children!
     Matthew 18:6 
    But whoever shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

My reason is the opposite of dose ...fortunately, i had a huge car crash yesterday i rolled over 3 times and get out unharmed... somebody or someone was watching me from up there, not a scratch its unbelievable I still can't belive it. My phone was 20 feet from the car, and it was in the door pocket before the crash. Wear your seatbelts all the time!!!! It saved my life!

  45. S.... D....

    This song was played to me on a child protection course 30 years ago. I cried then and I cry now, amazing words Mr Rea, thankyou.

  46. R.... F....

    This song is proof that there is no god.

  47. F.... I....

    Good song but also creepy. The song is probably meant to be peaceful but it just sounds haunting to me lol probably because this song was in a psa once

  62. T.... P....

    There’s a Heaven... this I know my friend, I was given a God given glimpse within a dream and it was indescribable and we are incapable of experiencing this incredible love that is awaiting us and our eyes will be opened to all that is good, with no pain, sadness or tears ever to be remembered again. Believe me... just have faith and believe. You will see.

  63. T.... P....

    Just lost my brother senselessly over this so called Opioid Crisis that is a big lie! The Drs Forced tapered my sweet brother off his pain meds he has been on for Almost 20 years, and it killed him. He was not an addict, he was mearly needing help to live his life out with a better quality of life that wasn’t possible in any other way due to chronic pain after breaking his neck and spine issues. Well now he’s gone, and it does feel like it’s cold as ice to me after what they did to my brother. These Drs are killing innocent people or they are committing suicide because Drs are being threatened with loosing their licenses if they help anybody living in chronic pain!
    Heaven help those suffering and dying at the hands of our corrupt health care system that is being held hostage.

  64. K.... S....

    Piękne i bardzo smutne za razem

    Every Year we lost People,whom we Love.But Nobody dies when we don´t forget.

    This came on my ipod when I was walking my dog yesterday. I had tears streaming down my face. Such a beautiful sad song. When my daughter was little, her granddad died, she kept asking where he was. I said he's in heaven, and she said "So there is a heaven?" I said yes, that it's a better place. I really hope it's true.
