Earth To Heaven - Esperanza Spalding

Written by：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

Withdrawing

From the need to achieve

Be careful what you believe

In strong

'Fore 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 the children and evil

Are even here just getting there

Warm hands cross on their shoulders

Kings die ringed in gold

Slaves die consoled

On the other side a mixed reward

Is better

Like a pearly resort

Except without a report from hell

How on earth can you tell

Burn or charge or hate

Judgment 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 order

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
