Come hear me good brothers come heed one and all Don't brag about standing or you'll surely fall You're shining your light and shine it you should You're so heavenly minded and you're no earthly good No earthly good you are no earthly good You're so heavenly minded you're no earthly good You're shining your light yes and shine it you should But you're so heavenly minded and you're no earthly good Come here me good sisters you salt of the earth If your salt isn't salted then what is it worth You could give someone a cool drink if you would But you're so heavenly minded and you're no earthly good No earthly good you are no earthly good You're so heavenly minded you're no earthly good You could give someone a cool drink if you would But you're so heavenly minded and you're no earthly good If you're holding heaven then spread it around There are hungry hands reaching up here from the ground Move over and share the high ground where you've stood So heavenly minded you're no earthly good No earthly good you are no earthly good You're so heavenly minded you're no earthly good Move over and share the high ground where you've stood So heavenly minded you're no earthly good No earthly good you are no earthly good You're so heavenly minded you're no earthly good You're shining your light yes and shine it you should But you're so heavenly minded and you're no earthly good The gospel isn't gospel until it's spread But how can you share it where you got your head These hands that reach out for a hand if you would So heavenly minded you're no earthly good
