I see her as a little girl hiding in her room |
|
She takes another bath and she sprays her momma's perfume |
|
To try to wipe away the scent he left behind |
|
But it haunts her mind. |
|
You see she's his little rag, nothing more than just a waif |
|
And he's mopping up his need, she is tired and afraid |
|
Maybe she'll find a way through these awful years to disappear. |
|
Ask me if I think there's a God up in the heaven |
|
Where did He go in the middle of her shame? |
|
Ask me if I think there's a God up in the heavens |
|
I see no mercy and no one down here's naming names |
|
Nobody's naming names. |
|
Now she's looking in the mirror at a lovely woman face |
|
No more frightened little girl, like she's gone without a trace |
|
Still she leaves the light burning in the hall |
|
It's hard to sleep at all. |
|
Still she crawls up in her bed acting quiet as a mouse |
|
Deep inside she's listening for a creaking in the house |
|
But noone's left to harm her, she's finally safe and sound |
|
There's a peace she's found. |
|
Ask her how she knows there's a God up in the heaven |
|
Where did He go in the middle of her shame? |
|
Ask her how she knows there's a God up in the heavens |
|
She said His mercy is bringing her life again. |
|
Ask me how I know there's a God up in the heaven |
|
(How do you know?) |
|
Where did He go in the middle of her shame |
|
(Where did He go?) |
|
Ask me how I know there's a God up in the heavens |
|
(How do you know?) |
|
She said his mercy is bringing her life again |
|
She's coming to life again. |
|
He's in the middle of her pain |
|
In the middle of her shame |
|
Mercy brings life |
|
He's in the middle |
|
Mercy in the middle. |
|
So ask me how I know |
|
Ask me how I know, yeah |
|
Ask me how I know there's a God up in the heaven |
|
(How do you know?) |
|
Ask me how I know there's a God up in the heavens |
|
(How do you know?) |
|
Yeah, ask me how I know |
|
(How do you know?) |
|
Ask me |
|
Ask me |
|
Ask me how I know |
|
(How do you know?) |
|
There's a God up in the heavens |
|
Ask me how I know there's a God up in the heavens. |
