Esperanza Spalding - Earth to Heaven lyrics

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)
