tell me there's a heaven

• chris rea bestesi
  
  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
• rea'nin bu sarkisinin sozleri, minik bir kiz cocugunun tanriyla ve insanlikla hesaplasma istegini yansitir. dinlerken, gozunuze sogan kacar.
  playlistinizde tell me there's a heaven'i, eric clapton'dan tears in heaven takip ederse; gozunuze kacan soganin etkisi gecmek bilmez bir turlu.
  hatta o sogan, gozunuzden hic cikmayabilir de^*...
• insanın içini buran bir melodisi vardır.
• babamın ölümünden sonra ilk dinlediğim şarkı. öldükten bir gün sonra dinlenmiştir bir 31 mayıs akşam üzerinde. sözlerdeki birkaç yer babaannemin ölümü üzerine babamın bana söylediklerini anımsatıyordu da, ondan arkasından yakmak istemiştim. yaktım. bir de sigara yakmıştım arkasından o gün. içemedim o ayrı... o günün hatırına sözlerin tamamını yapıştıralım müsaadenizle.

  tell me theres a heaven
  tell me that its true
  tell me theres a reason
  why im seeing what i do
  tell me theres a heaven
  where all those people go
  tell me theyre all happy now
  papa tell me that its so
  
  so do i tell her that its true
  that theres a place for me and you
  where hungry children smile and say
  we wouldnt 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 im looking at the father and the son
  and im looking at the mother and the daughter
  and im watching them in tears of pain
  and im watching them suffer
  dont tell that little girl
  tell me
  tell me theres a heaven
  tell me that its true
  tell me theres a reason
  why im seeing what i do
  
  tell me theres a heaven
  where all those people go
  tell me theyre all happy now
  papa tell me that its so
