Earth To Heaven - Esperanza Spalding

Thought and strength and breath

Ain’t much else left

Better have your fill before you know, it’s over

Say the natural laws

And if the heavenly goddess, should call

Is it heaven at all?

(sober)

These poor drunks don’t know

Money won’t flow

On the other side, they’re sure to go

Withdrawlin' from the need to achieve

Be careful what you believe, in strong

For you carry it on (over)

There are no perfect amends here

You get to just keep on getting there, getting there

There’s no promise or test here

You get to just keep on getting there, getting there (soldier)

No virgins or saints here

You get to just keep on getting there, getting there

All good children and evil

Are even here;

just getting there

War man’s cross on their (shoulders)

Kings die ringed in gold

Slaves die consoled

On the other side, a meek’s reward

Is better

Like a pearly resort

Except without a report, from hell

How on Earth can you tell?

Burn or charge or hate

Church men debate

How to curse a sin and compensate?

Their burden

Of upholding the law

But if the heavenly boss, turns out

To be ruling without (orders)

All legacies end here

You get to just keep getting there, getting there

No promise or test here

You get to just keep getting there, getting there

No virgins or saints here

You get to just keep on getting there

All aliens illegal

Crossing even here

They come to just keep on getting there

Statesmen lost in their (borders)
