Tell me there's a heaven

Artist: Chris Rea
Song Title: Tell Me There'S A Heaven
Album: Road To Hell

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
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

  1. 她看到很多人間的無奈悲哀
    家暴 飢餓 受苦

    她想問他爸到底哪裡有真正的天堂
    一個沒有苦難的天堂

    可是這張專輯的名字叫"通往地獄之路"
    真是諷刺....唉

    不過粉好聽 GOOD

    black and blue

    可同於:大紅大紫。

    代表:把人打得遍體鱗傷~

  3. 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

    這段是chris說的?

    而且不太懂 為什麼不能告訴那女孩?

    這首歌,可以入選今年被遺忘的苦難的歌曲

  4. "別告訴那女孩
    告訴我吧"

    我感覺啦
    這裡是一種 "絕望的呼求"
    像是:上帝阿 如果你是公義的
    為何人間仍有那麼多莫名的苦難

    "我很悲痛
    但是告訴那女孩是沒有用的
    因為她已經陷在痛苦中了
    不如告訴我
    但是老實說我心底卻不知道哪裡有天堂了"

  5. 我覺得是小女孩一開始問那個男的,
    有天堂嗎?因我阿公這樣說。
    女:告訴我有天堂 告訴我這是真的

    男的告訴小女孩,天堂是真的。
    那裡沒有飢餓的小孩,受傷的都被醫治,
    每一個經歷的痛楚,
    都只是通往那快樂的彼岸的階梯...

    但男的,看見了那些受苦者的眼淚,
    之後卻對著" "說:
    不要告訴那女孩,告訴我,天堂是存在的。
    (男子因為也有所懷疑,希望有人告訴他答案)
