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.
