Ask Me [DVD]

I see her as a little girl Hiding in her room She takes another bath And she sprays her mama'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 Heaven 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 Till she crawls up in her bed Acting quiet as a mouse Deep inside, she's listening For a creaking in the house But no one's left to harm her She's finally safe and sound There's a peace she has 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 Heaven 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 [Repeat: x2] Ask me how I know there's a God up in the Heaven Where did He go in the middle of her shame? Ask me how I know there's a God up in the Heaven She said His mercy is bringing her life again
