Earth To Heaven

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 Before 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 that makes reward Is better Like a pearly resort Except without report from hell How on Earth can you tell? Burn or charge or hate Judgement 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 on getting there, getting there No promise or test here You get to just keep on getting there, getting there No virgins or saints here You get to just keep on getting there All the winds and eagles Crossing even here They come to just keep on getting there State man lost on their borders --- Earth to Heaven - Esperanza Spalding
