BEN HARPER
AMEN OMEN

What started as a whisper
Slowly turned into a scream
Searching for an answer
Where the question is unseen
I don't know where you came from
And I don't know where you've gone
Old friends become old strangers
Between the darkness and the dawn
Amen Omen
Will I see your face again
Amen Omen
Can I find the place within
To live my life without you

I still hear you saying
All of life is a chance
And is sweetest
When at a glance
But I live a hundred
Lifetimes in a day
But I die a little
In every breath that I take

Amen Omen
Will I see your face again
Amen Omen
Can I find the place within
To live my life without you

I listen to a whisper
Slowly drift away
Silence is the loudest
Parting word you never say
I put your world
Into my veins
Now a voiceless sympathy
Is all that remains

Amen Omen
Will I see your face again
Amen Omen
Can I find the place within
To live my life without you





BEN HARPER
ANGEL FROM MONTGOMERY

I am an old woman named after my mother
(My) old man is another child (that's) grown old.
If dreams were thunder and lightning was desire, this old house would've burned down
a long time ago.
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery.
Make me a poster of an old rodeo.
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to.
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.
(When) I was a young girl I had me a cowboy.
Wasn't much to look at, just a free ramblin' man.
(But) that was a long time, (and) no matter how I try.
The years just flow by like a broken down dam.
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery.
Make me a poster of an old rodeo.
Just give me one thing (that) I can hold on to.
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.
There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear all their buzzin'.
(but) I ain't done nothin' since I woke up today.
I am kind of person goes to work in the morning come home in the evenin' and have nothin' to say.
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery.
Make me a poster of an old rodeo.
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to.
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go.
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go





BEN HARPER
ANOTHER LONELY DAY

Yes indeed I'm alone again
and here comes emptiness crashing in
it's either love or hate
I can't find in between
cause I've been with witches
and I have been with a queen
it wouldn't have worked out any way
so now it's just another lonely day
further along we just may
but for now it's just another lonely day

wish there was something
I could say or do
I can resist anything
but temptation from you
but I'd rather walk alone
than chase you around
I'd rather fall myself
than let you drag me down

it wouldn't have worked out any way
and now it's just another lonely day
further along we just may
but for now it's just another lonely day

yesterday seems like a life ago
cause the one I love
today I hardly know
you I held so close in my heart oh dear
grow further from me
with every fallen tear

it wouldn't have worked out any way
so now it's just another lonely day
further along we just may
but for now it's just another lonely day

BEN HARPER
ASHES

Ashes to ashes
and dust to dust
that's what has become
of our love and trust
Love has no direction
cause love has no aim
love can leave you
as fast as she came

Meeting is such sweet sorrow
cause someday we may have to part
hush don't you make a sound
you're gonna let me down

Good things come
to those who wait
but good things are gone
from those who are late

All that I am
is all I can give
but with or without you
my life I must live

Meeting is such sweet sorrow
cause someday we may have to part
hush don't you make a sound
you're gonna let me down

Living ain't easy
since you've been gone
no one else can please me
or make me feel home

Forgetting ain't easy
you stay on my mind
thoughts of us haunt me
can't leave them behind





BEN HARPER
BELOVED ONE

We have both been here before
Knockin upon love's door
Begging for someone to let us in
Knowing this we can agree
To keep each other company
Never to go down that road again
My beloved one, my beloved one

Your eyes shine through me
You are so divine to me
Your heart has a home in mine
We won't have to say a word
With a touch all shall be heard
When I search my heart it's you I find

My beloved one, my beloved one, my beloved one

You were meant for me
I believe you were sent to me
From the dreams trailing to my heart
Hold your body close to me
You mean most to me
We will keep each other safe from harm

My beloved one, my beloved one, my beloved one

BEN HARPER
BLESSED TO BE A WITNESS

Corcovado parted the sky
And through the darkness
On us he shined
Crucified in stone
Still his blood is my own
Glory behold all my eyes have seen
I am blessed to be a witness

Some have flown away
And can't be with us here today
Like the hills of my home
Some have crumbled and now are gone
Gather around for today won't come again

I am blessed to be a witness

So much sorrow and pain
Still I will not live in vain
Like good questions never asked
Is wisdom wasted on the past
Only by the grace of God go I

I am blessed to be a witness





BEN HARPER
BREAKIN' DOWN

You don't believe that I love you
and even if that was true
why just to keep our unhappy home
I'm gonna try to pretend that I do
but I'm breakin' down
I'm breakin' down
I'm breakin' down
I'm breakin' down
My baby she left me
said she ain't comin' back around
I'm breakin' down
And if I thought that it was okay
for a grown man to cry
I would have filled up the whole mighty ocean
when she said goodbye
and I'm breakin' down
I'm breakin' down
I'm breakin' down
I'm breakin' down
you know my baby she left me
said she ain't comin' back around
I'm breakin' down

One day you said everything was just right
I don't see how it changed overnight
one day you said everything was so strong
the next day you turn to me and say
it's been wrong all along

Oh and now you won't eve look at me
you pass me by in the street and you won't even speak
I never meant to cause you any harm
how could two people start so close
and end up so far
I'm breakin' down
I'm breakin' down
I'm breakin' down





BEN HARPER
BRING THE FUNK

When it's on the one you know the funk's begun
When you are down and out there is no doubt
You need the funk
Just bring the funk
Bring the funk
Bring the funk
Now what's the problem everybody's got them
Just get the hole out of your soul
And bring the funk
Bring me the funk
Bring the funk

If you got a glass closet don't you throw no bones
There's only getting until the getting's gone
So pass me the funk
Got to have my funk
I need my funk
Got to have my funk

Some are jiving
Some are shuck
Some are just down on their luck
They just need the funk
They got to have the funk
Got to have the funk
Just bring 'em some funk
Just bring the funk
Bring it

Stay black
Stay black
Stay white
Stay brown
Just get on down
Bring the funk
Got to bring the funk
Bring the funk
I need it

Well it's got to be solid
That's what you call it
Funk me up Funk me down
Funk me sideways Funk me all ways
Bring the funk
Got to bring the funk
Bring the funk

Some things money can't fix
Some things only money will do the trick
It's not the end of the world but I can see it from here
So bring me the funk
Just bring me the funk
Bring the funk





BEN HARPER
BROWN EYED BLUES

If I knew being here with you today
Would mean being alone tomorrow
I would gladly trade all of my tomorrows away
For a moment with you
Brown eyed blues
You can find yourself another fool

Can you look
Into my eyes
Or has your heart gone blind
Can you look
Into your own
And find the safe place to hide

Brown eyed blues
You can find yourself another fool

Why be with a stranger
When you could be with your friend
If you're ever lonely you know I'm lonely too
And I'll stay lonely until I'm again with you

Brown eyed blues
You can find yourself another fool

BEN HARPER
BURN TO SHINE

We made love until we cried
And cried ourselves to laughter
Laughed until we realized
Our hearts were struck with fear
How in just a moment's time
Could one see forever after
I gently lie beside you
And dream away with my tears
Won't you let me treat you kind?
We're gonna burn to shine
Won't you let me treat you kind?
We're gonna burn to shine

Funny things you learn from your mama
Like the way you throw your head back when swallowing pills
Funny things you learn from your papa
Like when you're talking you just can't keep your hands still

But that was now and this is then
It never lasts for long
How I miss the good old days
But I'm so glad they're gone

Won't you let me treat you kind?
We're gonna burn to shine
Won't you let me treat you kind?
We're gonna burn to shine

I'd like to spend the time that you
Would like to spend with me
So that you could help me out with my dependancy
'Cos I'm hoplessly addicted
Addicted to your sorrow
Makes me never wanna work, beg or borrow

Won't you let me treat you kind?
We're gonna burn to shine
Won't you let me treat you kind?
We're gonna burn to shine





BEN HARPER
BURNIN' AND LOOTIN'

This morning I woke up in a curfew
Oh, Lord I said Oh, God I was a prisoner too yeah.
I did not recognize those faces that are standing over me.
These faces of brutality, of brutality yeah.
How many rivers do we have to cross, cross, cross,
Before, before we can talk to the boss?
All that we've had, all that we've had,
It seems we have lost, lost, lost.
We must have really paid, really paid,
Paid the cost, paid the cost,
And that's why, that's why we gonna be,
Burnin' and lootin' tonight.
Yes, we (gonna be) burnin' and lootin' tonight.
Burnin' and lootin' tonight.
Burnin' all illusion tonight





BEN HARPER
BY MY SIDE

Don't you get ahead of me
and I won't leave you behind
if you get unhappy
show me a sign
there's no love like lost love
no pain like a broken heart
there's no love like you and me
and no loss like us apart

promises promise is
only a word
and when softly spoken
is never heard

and a heart
is not a stone
and is fragile
when alone

by my side
by my side
won't you be by my side
by my side
by my side
won't you be by my side

my care for you
is from the ground up to the sky
it's over under up above
down below and to the side

no use in pretending
no use in saving face
my love is never ending
you are my saving grace

by my side
by my side
won't you be by my side
by my side
by my side
won't you be by my side





BEN HARPER
CHURCH HOUSE STEPS

I sat down upon the church house steps
As I watched the world in sin
I hung my head and I wept
I sat down upon the church house steps
As the spirit was a God
Or man who made this mess
I sat down upon the church house steps
... my hopes in dreams
My sorrows and my regrets
I sat down upon the church house steps
Fot I know some day is coming
And I will be god blessed





BEN HARPER
CLICK YO' HEELS

Come on baby click yo' heels
Let me know our love is real
Cause we're a long way from anywhere
But I can really feel it
I've been up, I've been down
I've been tossed all around
But I always seem to come down on my feet

So don't think I'm crazy if I wanna sing
'bout the good things life has in store

Cause we're a long way from anywhere
But I can really feel it
A long way from anywhere

Come on babe let down your hair
Let me know you really care
Cause we're a long way from anywhere
But I'm ready for your dare

I remember a man in an upstate town
Said, you can't get there form here
We all took it as a joke but it held like smoke
Now it's ringing in both my ears

I look up babe see the sky is rollin'
Time has come to carry on

Cause we're a long way from anywhere
But I can really feel it
We're a long way from any town
But I think we'll come around
I really feel alright
I really feel alright
Cause we're a long way from anywhere
Tonight

CONCRETE JUNGLE

(by Bob Marley)

No sun will shine in my day today
The high yellow moon won't come out to play:
I said darkness has covered my light,
And the stage my day into night, yeah.
Where is the love to be found?
Won't someone tell me?
'Cause my life must be somewhere to be found
Instead of concrete jungle,
Where the living is harder.
Concrete jungle
Man you got to do your best. Wo ooh, yeah





BEN HARPER
DIAMONDS ON THE INSIDE

I knew a girl
Her name was truth
She was a horrible liar
She couldn't spend one day alone
But she couldn't be satisfied
When you have everything
You have everything to lose
She made herself a bed of nails
And she's planning on putting it to use
But she had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
Diamonds

A candle throws its light into the darkness
In a nasty world so shines a good deed
Make sure the fortune that you seek
Is the fortune that you need
Tell me why the first to ask
Is the last to give every time
What you say and do not mean
Follows you close behind

She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
Diamonds
Diamonds

Like the soldier long standing under fire
Any change comes as a relief
Let the giver's name remain unspoken
She is just a generous thief

She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds
Oh diamonds
She had diamonds
She wore diamonds
Diamonds





BEN HARPER
DON'T TAKE THAT ATTITUDE TO YOUR GRAVE

You say what's mine is mine
and what's yours is mine too
now you've got more than you can spend
but all of the money
in the whole wide world
is not gonna help you in the end
now while there's still time to be saved
don't take that attitude to your grave
might be too late for you I'm afraid
don't take that attitude to your grave
don't you take it there
I hear helicopters
over my house every day
shining their lights and flying low
treat a child like a criminal
from the day that he is born
and you're gonna reap just what you sow
now while there's still time to be saved
don't take that attitude to your grave
might be too late for you I'm afraid
don't take that attitude to your grave
don't you take it there

So you can move your court case
way across town
you can move it across the whole wide globe
but it ain't gonna help your court case
up in the sky
when you go to put on your white robe
now while there's still time to be saved
don't take that attitude to your grave
might be too late for you I'm afraid
don't take that attitude to your grave
don't you take it there

And you dare the children
to stay off of drugs
now I dare you to stop letting them in
and how dare you point your finger
at a gang out on the street
while it's you who is committing the sin
now while there's still time to be saved
don't take that attitude to your grave
might be too late for you I'm afraid
don't take that attitude to your grave
don't you take it there
they don't want it there
you know your mother taught you better
don't take that attitude to your grave

EVERYTHING

Behind all of your tears
There's a smile
Behind all of the rain
There's a sunshine for miles and miles
Everything
Everything
You mean everything
You mean everything
Everything to me

The colors of your garden
They're yellow, blue and green
And the sound of your sweet voice
It's better than all my dreams

Everything

Everything to me

Your my first thought in the morning
When I rise
You're my last thought in the evening
When I rest my head at night

Everything

Everything to me

FADED

You so easily amuse
like a pantomime
such a silent crime
You so easily abuse
lack of confidence
it's your best offense

You so easily confuse
you can't deny it
still you try to hide it

Faded
so faded
like a memory gone
there's no recollection
Faded
so faded
like a forgotten dream
further than it seems

You so hastily defy
when you think you need it
you find a way to bleed it

You so hastily deny
pleading innocence
it's your best defense

You so hastily reply
the moment that you said it
already regret it

Faded
so faded
like a memory gone
there's no recollection
Faded
so faded
like a forgotten dream
further than it seems

FOREVER

Not talkin' 'bout a year
no not three or four
I don't want that kind of forever
in my life anymore
forever always seems
to be around when it begins
but forever never seems
to be around when it ends
so give me your forever
please your forever
not a day less will do
from you
People spend so much time
every single day
runnin' 'round all over town
givin' their forever away
but no not me
I won't let my forever roam
and now I hope I can find
my forever a home
so give me your forever
please your forever
not a day less will do
from you

Like a handless clock with numbers
an infinite of time
no not the forever found
only in the mind
forever always seems
to be around when things begin
but forever never seems
to be around when things end
so give me your forever
please your forever
not a day less will do
from you





BEN HARPER
FORGIVEN

I will wait like nothing
I have ever waited for
I will catch your tears from falling
Until from my hands they fall
You can leave me abandoned
I'll be here if you want back in
Like the rest I have been branded
Far beneath the skin
So far beneath the skin
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be
Forgiven
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be
Forgiven

Here I have been standing
While the time has come and gone
I tried singing to you
But you turned my words to stone
Here I have been waiting
It seems for quite a while
Changed on my reflections
But inside still just a child
But inside still just a child

You shall be, you shall be, you shall be
Forgiven
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be
Forgiven

These eyes weren't made for crying
This love wasn't made to waste
These arms weren't made for battle
But to share in your embrace
But to share in your embrace

You shall be, you shall be, you shall be
Forgiven
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be
Forgiven

GET UP STAND UP

(by Bob Marley)

I say we're sick and tired of your poison technology
Slowly, surely, killing all humanity
We know when we understand:
Mighty God is a living man.
You can fool some people sometimes,
But you can not fool all the people all the time.
So now you see the light
We gonna stand up for our rights!
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight
Preacher man don't tell me
Heaven is under the earth
I know you don't know
What Jah life is really worth
It's not all the glitters is gold
Half the story has never been told
So now you see the light
Stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight

GIVE A MAN A HOME

Have you ever lost your way
have you ever feared another day
have you ever misplaced your mind
watching this world leave you behind
won't you
won't you give
won't you give a man
give a man a home

have you ever worn thin
have you ever never known where to begin
have you ever lost your belief
watching your faith turn to grief

won't you
won't you give
won't you give a man
give a man a home

in a world that is unwhole
you have got to fight to keep your soul
some would rather give than receive
some would rather give up before they believe

won't you
won't you give
won't you give a man
give a man a home

GLORY AND CONSEQUENCE

I'm more afraid of living
than I am scared to die
I'm more afraid of falling
than I am of flying high
Every moral has a story
every story has an end
every battle has its glory
and its consequence

I'm more afraid of loving
than I am of being scorned
but I will keep on trying
though I have been forewarned

Every moral has a story
every story has an end
every battle has its glory
and its consequence

I would rather me be lonely
and you have someone to hold
I'm not as scared of dying
as I am of growing old.

Every moral has a story

GOD FEARING MAN

Listen mister brother sister
family and friend
I fear with each day pass
our time grows closer to the end
listen stranger passer by
and those I never knew
there's not one day that you are living
has been promised to you

I am a God fearing man
I'm a God fearing man
I reach out for my God's hand
I'm a God fearing man

listen mother sister brother
relatives and kin
you want to know just where you're going
you got to know where you've been

tell me what gives one the right
to say their God is better than anybody else
don't we all have a right
to find God for our self

I am a God fearing man
I'm a God fearing man
I reach up for my God's hand
I'm a God fearing man

when I rise with the morning sun
I give thanks to my God
for the gift of another one

and when my day is over
and complete
I reach to my God
to put me back on my feet

I am a God fearing man
I'm a God fearing man
I reach up for my God's hand
I'm a God fearing man

GOLD TO ME

You look like gold to me
and I'm not too blind to see
you look like gold
you make me wanna sing
with all the joy you bring
you look like gold

like the rays down from the sun
when a new day has just begun
you look like gold

I've been fooled before
but now I know
I've made the mistake in the past
but now I know the difference
from gold and brass

not the kind of gold you wear
but the kind that can feel my care
you look like gold

some shine when the day is new
but fade when the day is through
but you look like gold

I've been wrong before
but now I know
I've made mistakes in the past
but now I know the difference
from gold and brass

you look like gold to me
and I'm down on bending knees
you look like gold
and I just want you to know
to me you mean so much more
than all the gold
you look like gold





BEN HARPER
GROUND ON DOWN

I believe in a few things
God the devil and love
cause I've looked up from the bottom
and I've stared down from above
I have faith in a few things
divinity and grace
but even when I'm on my knees
I know the devil prays

and you're working your way
from the ground on down

I hate to say I love you
because it means that I
will be with you forever
or will sadly say goodbye

I love to say I hate you
because it means that I
will live my life happily without you
or will sadly live a lie

and you're working your way
from the ground on down

life is short
and if your lookin' for extension
with your time
you had best do well

cause there's good deeds
and there is good intention
they're as far apart
as heaven and hell

and you're working your way
from the ground on down

HOMELESS CHILD

Nowhere here
to call my home
no one near
to call my own
all that's left
is for me to roam
somebody please
help me hang on
Homeless child
homeless child
what is left
for the homeless child

There is no night
and there is no day
it is all
one shade of gray
some will pass
and some will stay
is this the end
or just one more day

Homeless child
homeless child
what is left
for the homeless child

Sure not much
but it's my best
I just need
some place to rest
if you could just
let me be your guest
I won't burden you
for very long

Homeless child

BEN HARPER
HOW MANY MILES MUST WE MARCH

Exactly how much will have to burn
before we will look to the past to learn
we walk along this endless path
which has led us in a circle
so here we are right back
we can't let the future become our past
if we are to change the world
won't you tell me
tell me please
how many miles must we march
how many miles must we march
When I was a baby I was not prejudiced
hey how about you
this was something
that I learned in school
something they taught us to do
we can't let the future become our past
if we are to change the world
won't you tell me
tell me please
how many miles must we march
how many miles must we march

There must come a day
when a box is not somebody's home
the unfinished work of our heroes
must truly be our own
we can't let the future become our past
if we are to change the world
won't you tell me
tell me please
how many miles must we march
how many miles must we march
how many miles must we march

BEN HARPER
I SHALL NOT WALK ALONE

Battered and torn
still I can see the light
tattered and worn
but I must kneel to fight
Friend of mine
what can't you spare
I know some times
it gets cold in there

When my legs no longer carry
and the warm wind chills my bones
I reach for Mother Mary
and I shall not walk alone

Hope is alive
while we're apart
only tears
speak from my heart
break the chains
that hold us down
and we shall be
forever bound

When I'm tired and weary
and a long way from home
I reach for Mother Mary
and I shall not walk alone

Beauty that
we left behind
how shall we
tomorrow find

Set aside
our weight in sin
so that we
can live again

When my legs no longer carry
and the warm wind chills my bones
I reach for Mother Mary
and I shall not walk alone





BEN HARPER
I WANT TO BE READY

How I am strong
is to know what makes me weak
how I am found
is to know just whom I seek
the gift of a blessing
the burden of a sin
turn to him
I want to be ready
ready to put on
my long white robe

Nailed across
from hand to hand
for the sin
of woman and man
all upon his earth
is all within his plan
and I know this shall be
my journey home

I want to be ready
ready to put on
my long white robe

Covet no silver
covet no gold
reach your empty
hands for him to hold
up in his kingdom
glory shall be proclaimed
sing the song
and praise his name

I'LL RISE

You may write me down in history
with your bitter twisted lies
you may trod me down in the very dirt
and still like the dust I'll rise
does my happiness upset you
why are you best with gloom
Cause I laugh like I've got an oil well
pumpin' in my living room
So you may shoot me with your words
you may cut me with your eyes
and I'll rise
I'll rise
I'll rise
out of the shacks of history's shame
up from a past rooted in pain
I'll rise
I'll rise
I'll rise

Now did you want to see me broken
bowed head and lowered eyes
shoulders fallen down like tear drops
weakened by my soulful cries

Does my confidence upset you
don't you take it awful hard
cause I walk like I've got a diamond mine
breakin' up in my front yard

So you may shoot me with your words
you may cut me with your eyes
and I'll rise
I'll rise
I'll rise
out of the shacks of history's shame
up from a past rooted in pain

Diggin' up in my living room

So you may shoot me with your words
you may cut me with your eyes

I'll rise

out of the shacks of history's shame

IF I COULD HEAR MY MOTHER PRAY AGAIN

How sweet and happy seem, those days of which I dream Memory recalls them now and then And with what rapture sweet, my weary heart will beat If I could hear my mother pray again chorus If I could only hear my mother pray again If I could hear her, tender voice as then How glad I would be, ?would mean so much to me If I could hear my mother pray again Within the old home place, her patient smiling face Was always spreading comfort, hope and cheer And when she used to sing to her eternal king It was the angels loved to hear She used to pray that I, on Jesus would rely And always walked the shining gospel way So trusting still His love I seek that home above. Where I shall meet my mother some glad day. Her work on earth is done, the life crown has been won And she will be at rest with Him above. And some glad morning, she I know will welcome me.

And with what rapture sweet, my weary heart will beat
If I could hear my mother pray again
chorus
If I could only hear my mother pray again
If I could hear her, tender voice as then
How glad I would be, ?would mean so much to me

Within the old home place, her patient smiling face
Was always spreading comfort, hope and cheer
And when she used to sing to her eternal king
It was the angels loved to hear

She used to pray that I, on Jesus would rely
And always walked the shining gospel way
So trusting still His love I seek that home above.
Where I shall meet my mother some glad day.

Her work on earth is done, the life crown has been won
And she will be at rest with Him above.
And some glad morning, she I know will welcome me.

IN THE LORD'S ARMS

Like the wings stolen from an angel
Like petals that go from a rose
Like a dove caught in a storm
Tonight he's in the Lord's Arms

The wind it blew straight through us
And whispered to me in tongues
I was told I was born

Tonight you'll be in the Lord's Arms
Tonight he's in the Lord's Arms

So I drink this wine to him
With each glass of memory
He left with his crown of thornes

Tonight he's in the Lord's Arms
Tonight he's in the Lord's Arms
Tonight he's in the Lord's Arms

INDIFFERENCE

(by Pearl Jam)

I will light the match this mornin', so i won't be alone
Watch as she lies silent, for soon night will be gone
Oh, i will stand arms outstretched, pretend i'm free to roam
Oh, i will make my way, through, one more day in hell...
How much difference does it make
How much difference does it make, yeah...
I will hold the candle till it burns up my arm
Oh, i'll keep takin' punches until their will grows tired
Oh, i will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind
Hey, i won't change direction, and i won't change my mind
How much difference does it make
How much difference does it make...how much difference...
I'll swallow poison, until I grow immune
I will scream my lungs out till it fills this room
how much difference does it make

JAH WORK

your brother man
cause a heart speaks louder
than a color can
and why would you even
shake a man's hand
if you're not going
to help him stand
Jah work
Jah work
Jah work is never done

Every man's actions
belong to he
if prepared for thereafter
to each his destiny
some people believe
and some people know
some people deceive
and some people show

Jah work
Jah work
Jah work is never done

You must do the heaviest
so many shall do none
you have got to stand firm
so many shall run
some they rest their head at night
some get no sleep at all
if you listen close to what you see
you will hear the call

LESS

I could give you more
But you still wouldn't be happy
I could give all you need
But you still wouldn't be satisfied
I could give till I were poor
Now what good could that be?
You'd shake hands with Jesus
And you still would not believe
If you're happy with nothing you'll be so very happy with me
The less you expect the more you'll be pleased

I could change your mind
But what would you really be thinking
I'd show you a sign
But you'd just pass it on by
I could hold your hand
But then we'd both be sinking
The problem with the world is everone's not just like you

If you're happy with nothing you'll be so very happy with me
The less you expect the more you'll be pleased
The more you'll be pleased

If you're happy with nothing you'll be so very happy with me
If you're happy with nothing you'll be so very happy with me
If you're happy with nothing you'll be so very happy with me
So happy with nothing, so happy with me

So she's leavin' you and your stinky damn ways
cause she's found somebody else

And Mama's got a girlfriend now boy
Mama's got a girlfriend now
Mama's got a girlfriend
Mama's found a true friend
Mama's got a girlfriend now

Papa he left home today
He was wavin' his hands and cryin'
You could tell by the sound and the tone in his voice
that his heart was slowly dyin'
But mama said Boy if I ever
catch you round here again
You ain't never gonna have
nobody else not a woman or a man

And mama's got a girlfriend now boy

MAMA'S GOT A GIRLFRIEND NOW

Papa, he left home today
Said he ain't comin' back again
Said he ain't gonna be nobody's second best
Just cause mama's got a special kind of friend
Papa, he left home today
Said he ain't comin' back no more
Said he ain't gonna take no damn back seat
And how could mama do him so low

But mama's got a girlfriend now, boy
Mama's got a girlfriend now
Mama's got a girlfriend
Mama's got a true friend
Mama's got a girlfriend now

You see Mama don't watch your damn football
And your beer drinkin' just won't do
You're just stayin' out late

MAMA'S TRIPPIN'

Can you tell me why
you're so uptight
out of your head
and ain't talkin' right
Can you tell me why
your mind ain't straight
out of touch
and can't relate

Mama's trippin'
daddy's slippin'

Everybody's talkin' 'bout
keepin' it together
but I see people splittin'
when there's inclement weather

What you want is what I want
so why can't we agree
if I could be inside of you
maybe I could see why

Mama's trippin'
daddy's slippin'

You and I ain't spoken
ain't spoken for a week
soon there won't be nothin'
nothin' left to speak

Things ain't the same
since you've gone insane
let's take some time
and ease the strain

Mama's trippin'
daddy's slippin'

MANIC DEPRESSION

(by Jimi Hendrix)

Manic depression is touching my soul
I know what I want but I just don't know
How to, go about gettin' it
Feeling sweet feeling,
Drops from my fingers, fingers
Manic depression is catchin' my soul
Woman so weary, the sweet cause in vain
You make love, you break love
It's all the same
When it's, when it's over, mama
Music, sweet music
I wish I could caress, caress, caress
Manic depression is a frustrating mess
Well, I think I'll go turn myself off,
And go on down
All the way down
Really ain't no use in me hanging around
In your kinda scene
Music, sweet music
I wish I could caress, caress, caress
Manic depression is a frustrating mess

MARY

(by Patty Griffin)

Mary you're covered in roses, you're covered in ashes
You're covered in rain
You're covered in babies, you're covered in slashes
You're covered in wilderness, you're covered in stains
You cast aside the sheet, you cast aside the shroud
Of another man, who served the world proud
You greet another son, you lose another one
On some sunny day and always stay, Mary
Jesus says Mother I couldn't stay another day longer
Flys right by me and leaves a kiss upon her face
While the angels are singin' his praises in a blaze of glory
Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place

Mary she moves behind me
She leaves her fingerprints everywhere
Everytime the snow drifts, everytime the sand shifts
Even when the night lifts, she's always there

Jesus said Mother I couldn't stay another day longer
Flys right by me and leaves a kiss upon her face
While the angels are singin' his praises in a blaze of glory
Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place

Mary you're covered in roses, you're covered in ruin
you're covered in secrets
Your'e covered in treetops, you're covered in birds
who can sing a million songs without any words
You cast aside the sheets, you cast aside the shroud
of another man, who served the world proud
You greet another son, you lose another one
on some sunny day and always stay
Mary, Mary, Mary

MY FATHER'S HOUSE

(by Bruce Springsteen)

Last night I dreamed that I was a child
Out where the pines grow wild and tall
I was trying to make it home through the forest
Before the darkness falls
I heard the wind rustling through the trees
And ghostly voices rose from the fields
I ran with my heart pounding down that broken path
With the devil snappin' at my heels
I broke through the trees, and there in the night
My father's house stood shining hard and bright
The branches and brambles tore my clothes and scratched my arms
But I ran till I fell, shaking in his arms
I awoke and I imagined the hard things that pulled us apart
Will never again, sir, tear us from each other's hearts
I got dressed, and to that house I did ride
From out on the road, I could see its windows shining in light
I walked up the steps and stood on the porch
A woman I didn't recognize came and spoke to me through a chained door
I told her my story, and who I'd come for
She said I'm sorry, son, but no one by that name lives here anymore
My father's house shines hard and bright
It stands like a beacon calling me in the night
Calling and calling, so cold and alone
Shining cross this dark highway where our sins lie unatoned

NOT FIRE, NOT ICE

There is not a river wide
Not a mountain high
And neither sin nor evil
Could change how I feel inside
Could change how I feel inside
Not all the strength of the ocean
Not all the heat from the sun, from the sun
Now, others have tried, I just can't deny
To me you are the one
To me you are the one
The true love is priceless
For true love you pay a price
But there's nothing can keep me from loving you
Not fire no not ice
Not fire no not ice
Like a hero or a champion
You are the best, you're the best
Like religion or superstition
With you I am blessed
With you I am blessed
Now the river may grow wider
The mountain may reach past the sky
And wether or not you feel same
My love shall never die
My love shall never die
The true love you give and take
The true love is sacrifice
But there's nothing can keep me from loving you
Not fire no not ice
Not fire no not ice

OPPRESSION

Oppression
you pray on us when we sleep
oppression
you chase after the tired the poor the weak
oppression
you know you mean only harm
oppression
you reach out with your long arm
but oppression
I won't let you near me
oppression
you shall learn to fear me

oppression
you seek population control
oppression
to divide and to conquer is your goal
oppression
I swear that hatred is your home
oppression
you just won't leave bad enough alone

but oppression
I won't let you near me
oppression
you shall learn to fear me

oppression
I don't see how you sleep
oppression
for your bleeding conscience I weep
oppression
you may have the dollar on your side
but oppression
from the gospel truth you cannot hide
and
oppression
I won't let you near me
oppression
you shall learn to fear me

I won't let you near me

PAY THE MAN

Pay the man
Everybody's got to pay the man
And before you leave this world
You got to pay, pay the man
Of the senators in the fancy houses
He's a friend of Babylon
Got a wife and a dog and a cadillac
And people hung around
Got his ways and means and all he needs
To keep him satisfied
But before he leaves this world
He's got to pay, pay the man
Pay the man
Everybody's got to pay the man
And before you leave this world
You got to pay, pay the man
Sally had a baby
It almost droke her crazy
When she dropped into the river
Now Sally she's a happy girl
And you see her on a ...
She's doing all the best she can
And she...

Everybody's got to pay the man
And before you leave this world

BEN HARPER
PEOPLE LEAD

When the people lead
the leaders they will have to follow
and all their lies and their alibies
they will have to swallow
and it's you that has the authority
for the one who is right
is the majority
when the people lead
people take the lead
children you've got to take your lead
or you shall be led astray

so as long as someone else
controls your history
the truth shall remain just a mystery
for you can lead a horse to the water
but you cannot make him drink
you can put a man through school
but you cannot make him think

when the people lead
people take the lead
children you've got to take your lead
or you shall be led astray

watch them try to hide
this world's imposition
but like disease that has come round from remission
when it seems
as if it has left your person
all the while it has only worsened

when the people lead
people take the lead
children you've got to take your lead
or you shall be led astray





BEN HARPER
PICTURE OF JESUS

It hangs above my altar
Like they hung him from a cross
I keep one in my wallet
For the times I feel lost
In a wooden frame with splinters
Where my family kneels to pray
And if you listen close
You'll hear the words he used to say
I've got a picture of Jesus
In his arms so many prayers rest
We've got a picture of Jesus
And with him we shall be forever blessed

Now it has been spoken
He would come again
But would we recognize
This king among men
There was a man in our time
His words shine bright like the sun
He tried to lift the masses
And was crucified by gun

He was a picture of Jesus
With him so many prayers rest
He is a picture of Jesus
In his arms so many prayers rest
With him we shall be forever blessed

Some days have no beginning
And some days have no end
Some roads are straight and narrow
And some roads only bend
So let us say a prayer
For every living thing
Walking towards a light
From the cross of a king

We long to be a picture of Jesus
In his arms so many prayers rest
I long to be a picture of Jesus
With him we shall be forever blessed

PLEASE BLEED

Make me feel like a beggar
Make me feel like a thief
Make me feel like a battle
That cannot end in peace
Make me feel like running
As if I've lost my nerve
Make me feel like crying
Tears I don't deserve
Please bleed
So I know that you are real
So I know that you can feel
The damage that you've done
Whooo, Who have I become?
To myself I am numb, I am numb, I am numb

Is this really living
Sometimes it's hard to tell
Or is it just a kind of gentler hell
Turn out the lights
And let me stare into your soul
I was born and bled for you to hold

Please bleed

So I know that you can feel
The damage that you've done
Whooo, Who have I become?

Don't do me any favors

do yourself a few
your presence ain't nobody's blessing
I've got plenty of other things
I could do

oh no, not another excuse
your tired silly games
for me are just no use

and now it's plain for me to see
you're with somebody
that you don't want to be

so won't you
please please me like you want to
not like you have to
or won't you just go on and leave me
leaving me is the least that you could do

you could have spared me
so much misery
and told me you just wanted
a friend

believe me there is a difference
when you mean it
and when you pretend

or was I just your habit
cause I know a habit
is a hard thing to break

but won't you spare me
a little mercy
there's only so much
that I can take

so won't you

I've felt pleasure

and if only good die young
then left with me cruel here to grow old
and I felt pleasure

I can never be the same

And if someday I find my peace of mind
I will share my wealth with all of human kind

QUARTER OF A MAN

There's a quarter of a man in the market with a quarter of a car so it's easy to park it
He gets to the counter he pays what he can but he only pays a quarter
He's a quarter of a man
Now this quarter of a man he got fired, the next damn day he got hired
The only thing wrong with this plan is he only makes a quarter
He's a quarter of man

Every day he's on the street, too few quarters to live or to eat
He's so little the people all stare but he only pays a quarter far.
Now this quarter of a man's on vacation but he still gets his ration
He gets to the market he saves what he can but he only saves a quarter
He's a quarter of a man

Every day he's on the streets too few quarters to live or to eat
He's so little the people all to stare but he only pays a quarter fare

Won't you remember the mocking bird, my baby bun
He used to sing for dinner, baby.
Oh, he used to sing for his supper, baby.
He used to sing so sweetly.
Since my baby left me, he ain't sang for two long days.
Oh, remember the blue birds and the honey bees.
They used to sing for you and me.
Oh, they used to sing about you and me.
They used to sing so sweetly.
But since my baby left me they ain't sang in two long days.
Oh, won't you please come home.
Come on home, come to me.
Make everyday happy as can be.
And if you'll leave come on home to me, I'll kiss you for my dinner, baby.
I'll kiss you for my supper .
But if you don't come back you know, I'll have to starve to death.
'cause I ain't had noon of your loving all day now.
Oh, remember.

ROSES FROM MY FRIENDS

I could have treated you better
but you couldn't have treated me worse
but it's he who laughs last
is he who cries first
Sometimes I feel I know strangers
better than I know my friends
why must a beginning
be the means to an end

The stones from my enemies
these wounds will mend
but I cannot survive
the roses from my friends

When the last word has been spoken
and we've beared witness to the final setting sun
all that shall remain is a token
of what we've said and done

When all we've had has been forsaken
distant church bells no longer ring
that's the sound of a heart taken
and the story of tears from a king

The stones from my enemies
these wounds will mend
but I cannot survive
the roses from my friends

This may be the last time I see you
forgive me for holding you close
this may be the last time that I see you
so of this moment I will make the most

This may be the last time I see you
but if you keep me in your heart
together we shall be eternal
if you believe
we shall never part

The stones from my enemies
these wounds will mend
but I cannot survive
the roses from my friends

I know you may not want to see me
On your way down from the clouds
Would you hear me if I told you
That my heart is with you now
She's only happy in the sun
She's only happy in the sun

Did you find what you were after
The pain and the laughter brought you to your knees
But if the sun sets you free
Sets you free
You'll be free indeed
Indeed

She's only happy in the sun
She's only happy in the sun

Every time I hear you laughing
Hear you laughing
It makes me cry
Like a story of life
Of life
Is hello goodbye

She's only happy in the sun
She's only happy in the sun
She's only happy in the sun
She's only happy in the sun





BEN HARPER
SHOW ME A LITTLE SHAME

You, you've been looking at me
Just a little too long
Now I can never look the same
Blindness and kindness, there's no difference in the two
When I can no longer see the good in you
So won't you show me a little shame?
Won't you show me a little shame?

Now cos' I'm, I'm a gentleman
Before a gentlewomen, so called ladies
They keep breakin' my heart
Show me a house, show me a home
Show me how it could all fall apart

So won't you show me a little shame?
Won't you show me a little shame?
Won't you show me a little shame?

'Cause now I wake up in the morning
More tired than before I slept
I get to crying and I
(?)
I get through thinking now
And the thoughts have left my head
I get through speaking
And I can't remember not a word that I said

You change your mind so many times
I wonder if you ever have mind at all
And I rather be by myself
Than to have your lonesome company
Come to call

So won't you show me a little shame?
Won't you show me a little shame?
Won't you show me a little shame?





BEN HARPER
SO HIGH SO LOW

Once you know you can never
You can never turn back
But I understand
' Cause we all fear what we lack
Being with you
Makes me tired as hell
And it's so high so low

Now if I was strong
And you were male
You'd be dead
And I would be in jail

Being with you
Makes me tired as hell
And it's so high so low

Don't go making promises
You know you won't keep
Weddings turn to funerals
Both with songs that make you weep

Being with you
Makes me tired as hell
And it's so high so low

STEAL MY KISSES

I put into Nashville, Tennessee
But you wouldn't even come around to see me
You seemed to headin' up to Carolina
You know I gonna be right there behind you
'Cos I always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you

Now I love to feel that warm southern rain
Just to hear it fall is the sweetest sounds of things
And to see it fall on your simple country dress
It's like heaven to me I must confess

'Cos I always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you

Now I've been hangin' around you for days
But when I lean in you just turn your head away
Wo, I know you didn't mean that
She said I love the way you think
But I hate the way you act

'Cos I always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you

SUPERSTITION

(by Stevie Wonder)

Oh, very superstitious, writings on the wall
Ooh, very superstitious, ladders 'bout to fall.
Thirteen month old baby, breaks the looking the glass.
Seven years of bad luck, with the good things in your past.
When you believe in the things that you don't understand, then you suffer.
Superstition is not the way.
Oh, very superstitious, that you wash your face and hands.
Ooh, very superstitious, do all that you can.
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong.
You don't wanna save me, sad is your song.
When you believe in the things that you don't understand, then you suffer.
Superstition is not the way.
Very superstitious, I got nothing more to say.
Oh, very superstitious, the devil's on his way.
Thirteen month old baby, breaks the looking the glass.
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past.
When you believe in the things that you don't understand, then you suffer.
Superstition is not the way.
When you believe in the things that you don't understand, then you suffer

SUZIE BLUE

Won't you sing me the blues?
Won't you sing me the blues?
Sing me something my heart can use
Misery, love's a symphony
As your face, your pretty face
Gets lost in a crowd
And you say no one's there
To hear you cry out loud
What will you do, Suzie Blue?

Where did you learn to do that so well?
Where did you learn to do that so well?
I guess that would be like kissing 'til
If it's a secret, why do you show me?

But you're far away from the love you used to hold
Don't sit and watch yourself grow old
The day is new, Suzie Blue
The day is new, Suzie Blue

Real life has let you down
Real life has let you down
Someone stripped the shoes from your ground
Everybody owes somebody something

Kisses from heaven in your arms
And we'll make love to the memories
They will always see us new, Suzie Blue
The day is new, Suzie Blue
The day is new, Suzie Blue

TEMPORARY REMEDY

I killed a snake with a bible
I was living a Johnny Cash song
I'm afraid for this I may be liable
So its best I be moving moving along
Just a temporary remedy
Running through my veins

Summer lasted through November
Funny when its gone you miss cold
Words can be spoken for a lifetime
We can never hear until we're told

Just a temporary remedy
Running through my veins

They tell me nothing is perfect
Then tell me why is it a word
Yesterday's news is tomorrow's blues
Now they're perfectly blurred

Just a temporary remedy
Running through my veins

THE DRUGS DON'T WORK

(by The Verve)

All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown
This time I'm comin' down
And I hope you're thinking of me
As you lay down on your side
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again
But I know I'm on a losing streak
'Cause I passed down my old street
And if you wanna show, then just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again
'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too
Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead
All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown
This time I'm comin' down

'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
I'm never going down, I'm never coming down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more
I'm never coming down, I'm never going down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more

THE MODERN WORLD

(by The Jam)

This is a modern world, This is the modern world
What kind of fool do you think I am?
To think I know nothing of the modern world.
All my life it's been the same,
I've learnt to live by hate and pain,
It's my inspiration trap.
I've learnt more than you'll ever know,
Even at school I felt quite sure,
That one day I would be on top,
Another dot upon the map,
The teachers who said I be nothing!
This is the modern world that I've learnt about,
This is the modern world we don't need no one,
To tell us whats right or wrong.
Say what you like cos I don't care,
I know where I am and going to.
It's somewhere I won't preview,
To have to explain myself to you,
I don't give two fucks about you if you.
This is the modern world that I've learnt about,
This is the modern world we don't need no one,
To tell us whats right or wrong.
Modern world this is this is this is this is,
This is this is this is,
Hey we don't need no one,
To tell us whats right or wrong,
Ahh, This is a modern world, this is the modern world

THE THREE OF US





BEN HARPER
THE WILL TO LIVE

I met a girl whose heart
was on the right hand side
and upon the left
an angel did reside
they told her mother
that she never would survive
but she kept the rhythm
and is still alive
We must all have
the will to live
you got to have
the will to live

Then I met a man
who had to walk with his hands
born into a world
he couldn't stand
blessed with life
but cursed as a man
still he walks taller
than most of us can

We must all have
the will to live
you got to have
the will to live

Some are born with more
and some born with less
so don't take for granted
the life we've been blessed
it's hard to understand
that we're only a guest
and each one of us
shall be put to life's test

We must all have
the will to live
you got to have
the will to live





BEN HARPER
THE WOMAN IN YOU

Could have sworn I heard you say amen this morning
Showing some kind of sign that you believe
Did it fall from your tongue without warning
Or just another trick to fall from your sleeve?
Did I hear you say that you believe in angels
I guess I bring the devil out in you
But we can both remove our haloes
'Cos even an angel needs love too
Even an angel needs love too
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me

Some things never change
Some things never stay the same
But you are so innocent
I'll take all the blame
How I hate to remember
For that means the day is past
Sometimes I wonder if I know her
Or if I really need to ask
Or if I really need to ask

The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
Woman, woman, woman, woman, woman, woman, woman

Half man walks with no shadow
Of life he utters his distaste
No apology is expected
Love carved sorry in is his face
Love carved sorry in is his face

The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you is the worry, the worry in me
The woman in you, in you, is the worry in me
Woman, woman, woman, woman, woman, woman, woman

TOUCH FROM YOUR LUST

I need to sleep but I'm too tired
I need to come down but I'm too wired
When the sun comes up I miss the moon

TWO HANDS OF A PRAYER

First time that I saw her
She had white doves in her eyes
She spoke to me but I could not reply, not reply
She was a stranger I had known for years
She brought to me so many smiles and tears, smiles and tears
The two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer

Time makes lonely drifts into the past, into the past
And finds a home where all echoes rest, echoes rest
She softly kissed my mind, my mind
And whispered: What will we do with time, do with time?

The two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer

Another man I choosed to be, choosed to be,
Or just the man I used to be, used to be
Another man I want to be, I want to be
And this question, it keeps haunting me, haunting me

The two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer
Together like the two hands of a prayer

WALK AWAY

Oh no
here comes that sun again
that means another day
without you my friend
And it hurts me
to look into the mirror at myself
and it hurts even more
to have to be with somebody else
and it's so hard to do
and so easy to stay
but sometimes
sometimes you just have to walk away
walk away

With so many people
to love in my life
why do I worry
about one

But you put the happy
in my ness
you put the good times
into my fun
and it's so hard to do
and so easy to stay
but sometimes
sometimes you just have to walk away
walk away
and head for the door

We've tried the goodbye
so many days
we walk in the same direction
so that we could never stray
they say if you love somebody
than you have got to set them free
but I would rather be locked to you
than live in this pain and misery

They say time will
make all this go away
but it's time that has taken my tomorrows
and turned them into yesterdays
and once again you my friend
are nowhere to be found
and it's so hard to do
and so easy to stay
but sometimes
sometimes you just have to walk away
walk away
and head for the door
you just walk away
walk away

welcome
welcome

Don't know how
we've lasted here so long
there must be more good than bad
or we'd already be gone
and if you get up to Heaven
before I do
I'm gonna tell ya
It's gonna be cruel there too

You can't hide from this cruel world
cause there is no place to run
you can't hide from the cruel world
there just is no place to run
it's been cruel from the beginning
it will be cruel when we're done

So when I'm gone
I will gladly say goodbye
when I am gone
I will gladly say goodbye
and if you want to feel me
put your hands up to the sky

Welcome to the cruel world
welcome
welcome
hope you find your way
try to enjoy your stay

WHEN IT'S GOOD

You're a prison I can't escape
You're a decision I never make
Heard me laughing
You heard me weep and moan
When it's good, it's good
When it's gone, it's gone

They say time will kill the pain
I say pain is gonna kill my time
Lord won't you save me
Or leave me alone

When it's good, it's good
When it's gone, it's gone

I hang your picture above my mind
Don't do anything you can't deny
I could never be your pawn
When it's good, it's good
When it's gone, it's gone

Some drink to remember
Some to forget
Some for satisfaction
Some to regret
I hope a brighter day to you I've shown

When it's good, it's good
When it's gone, it's gone





BEN HARPER
WHEN SHE BELIEVES

The good Lord is such a good Lord
With such a good mother too
They have blessed me
In the good graces of you
I have heard a hundred violins crying
And I have seen a hundred white doves flying
But nothing is as beautiful
As when she believes in me

How good it must feel
To be so young and free
And a song that pleases a Queen
Will always please me
I have heard the wisest of wisdom
And I have dined in palaces and kingdoms

But nothing is as beautiful
As when she believes in me

Now, all of life
Is just passing the time
Until once again
Your eyes look into mine
I have been adored by a stranger
And I have heard the whispering angel

But nothing is as beautiful
As when she believes in me

WICKED MAN

Children come running to the truth But you got to peel the skin to get the food And while one is living high, another is grieving But what sweet by morning is bitter by the evening I say the wicked man shall fall Wheen the moon chase away the sun And force my day to run I shall not fear the darkest night For I know upon the other side is light I say the wicked man shall fall Every man is a common man And every common has his plan But while the hungry man seek any food, any food in sight There's a greedy man who seek only appetite I say the wicked man shall fall

BEN HARPER
WICKED MAN (BONUS TRACK)

Children come running to the truth
But you got to peel the skin to get the food
And while one is living high, another is grieving
But what sweet by morning is bitter by the evening

I say the wicked man shall fall

Wheen the moon chase away the sun
And force my day to run
I shall not fear the darkest night
For I know upon the other side is light

I say the wicked man shall fall

Every man is a common man
And every common has his plan
But while the hungry man seek any food, any food in sight
There's a greedy man who seek only appetite

I say the wicked man shall fall





BEN HARPER
WIDOW OF A LIVING MAN

Mama why does he treat me so cold
why do I feel so old
how long has he treated me unkind
or have I always been so blind
I'm the widow of a living man

Why can't the times stay the same
now I am begging him to change
what about all the plans we made
now I am so afraid

I'm the widow of a living man

Why does he hurt me so
I'm gonna need someplace to go
he's no longer some kind woman's son
mama I think that I had better run

I'm the widow of a living man




BEN HARPER
WITH MY OWN TWO HANDS

I can change the world
With my own two hands
Make a better place
With my own two hands
Make a kinder place
With my own two hands
With my own
With my own two hands
I can make peace on earth
With my own two hands
I can clean up the earth
With my own two hands
I can reach out to you
With my own two hands
With my own
With my own two hands

I'm gonna make it a brighter place
I'm gonna make it a safer place
I'm gonna help the human race
With my own
With my own two hands

I can hold you
With my own two hands
I can comfort you
With my own two hands
But you got to use
Use your own two hands
Use your own
Use your own two hands

With our own
With our own two hands
With my own
With my own two hands

YOU CAN'T BLAME THE YOUTH

(by Peter Tosh)

Your teacher used to learn in school how a cow flies over the moon
Your teacher used to learn in school how a dish runs away with a spoon.
So you can't blame the youth.
And you can't fool the youth.
You can't blame the youth of today.
You teacher used teach about Christopher Colombus and you said he was a very great man.
You used to teach about Marco Polo and you said he was a very great man.
So you can't blame the youth.
And you can't fool the youth.
You can't blame the youth of today.
When every Christmas comes around you buy the youth a fancy toy .
When every Christmas comes around you buy the youth a fancy toy .
So you can't blame the youth.
And you can't fool the youth.
You can't blame the youth, not at all.
Your teacher used teach about Pirate Hawkins and you said he was a very great man.
Your teacher used teach about Pirate Morgan and you said he was a great man.
You teacher used teach about Christopher Colombus and you said he was a very great man.
You teacher used teach about Marco Polo, you said he was a very great man.
So you can't blame the youth.
Oh, not at all
