Elma's Melodies - Dad in Heaven Lyrics

In a nearby village
She lives and feels pain
Doesn't know life without violence
Her confidence slips away
With every minor mistake
She has been hit in her face
Has to suffer this misuse
The merciless father doesn't care

I never would have thought
That relations are as bad
As the cruelest criminals
What she experienced was worse
He abused her a long time
And she suffered so much pain
He took his own life
Cause as a father he failed

There's a Dad in Heaven
Who looks after us
A father in Heaven
Who wants the best for us
A Dad in Heaven
Who cares for us
A father in Heaven
Who absolutely loves

In her own beloved family
She's not safe from lies
One day her Daddy comes along
Says he made mistakes
She thought there couldn't be stormy times
But then a marriage's wrecked
And the trust in parents
Left a wounded heart behind

There's a Dad in Heaven
Who looks after us
A father in Heaven
Who wants the best for us
A Dad in Heaven
Who cares for us
A father in Heaven
Who absolutely loves

They cry out for help, cause they don't see their way
And they cry out for help, they hope for an end
They cry out for help, cause they will find a way
And they cry out for help, cause someone said

There's a Dad in Heaven
Who looks after us
A father in Heaven
Who wants the best for us
He cares for us
My Dad in Heaven
He loves. He absolutely loves
