This song is about a girlfriend of mine. if you or someone you love has been a victim of sexual abuse, please dont be afraid to seek help. the sexual abuse helpline is open 24 hours a day, and
Ne who cares is waiting for your call...[800]4a-child


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.
