Esperanza Spalding- Heaven in Pennies (Amazing!)

Esperanza Spalding's incredibly beautiful waltz Heaven in Pennies. Words fail me.......but not Esperanza...... Look at you Too proud to say what you mean What? the bell in the church of your mind Ain't been swung in such a long time Dull brass and spiderwebs, choking the sound Locks on the gate round your fountain, all dry Pretty cherubs of stone await silver rain from the sky [Hook] Why? You might come down and open your mind Down searching the ground for pennies I wish for a voice from the sky While searching the ground the pennies [Verse 2] Open the door to your steeple It’s empty where people would gladly Give a coin to restore your rosy window panes Broken and boarded up Others come mending the curtains Re-roping the bell that reminds you to move While you pray Polish and ring on down Each wish you make Children now splash in the fountain The coins we have counted are laid on a plate To feed them more [Hook] Now Now come down and open your mind Start searching the ground for pennies We all wish for our riches on high And still search the ground for pennies [Outro] Now We all wish for our riches on high And still search the ground for pennies Oh, come down and open your mind Start searching the ground for pennies We all wish for a voice from the sky While searching the ground the pennies Now come down and open your mind We're searching the ground for pennies We all wish for a voice from the sky While searching the ground for pennies Oh, come down and open your mind Keep searching the ground for pennies We all wish for our riches on high While working the ground for pennies
