Ben Harper Quotes

Every time feels like my first time. And I just find that the process of it feeds into one's own self-obsession.

In my life I have been blessed
In my life I have been cursed
I have lived the best of times
I have suffered the worst
Do you know which road you're traveling?
Do you know where you want to be?
With so many roads to travel,
There's just one can set you free.

It will make a weak man mighty;
It will make a mighty man fall.
It will fill your heart and hands;
Or leave you with nothing at all.
It's the eyes for the blind
And legs for the lame.
It is love for hate,
And pride for shame.<p>That's the power of the gospel.
That's the power of the gospel.
That's the power of the mighty power.
That's the power of the gospel.

Children come running to the truth
But you've got to peel the skin to get the fruit
And while one's living high another's grieving
But what's sweet by morning is bitter by the evening
Oh - What's sweet by morning is bitter by the evening.

I can change the world
With my own two hands
Make a better place
With my own two hands
Make a kinder place.

Could've 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 halos 'cause even an angel needs love too.
Even angels need love too.

Make no mistake about it, making a good record is pure, unadulterated pain. If you fall and break your leg--that's pain. But I'm telling you, the phase between pain and death? That's making a good record. It's extreme.

The lifetime we've left behind with strangers
Promises and lies both have their dangers.
I just can't be wrong enough and I can't hide for long enough
So far away, but I still feel your pain.

Listen stranger, passerby,
And those I never knew.
There's not one day that you are living
Has been promised to you.

Excuse me Mr.
But isn't that your oil in the sea?
And the pollution in the air Mr.
Whose could that be?<p>So excuse me Mr.
But I'm a mister too
And you're givin' Mr. a bad name,
Mr. like you.

My band is the best band in the world, period. So, I insist on every song being better then it is on the record. So by the end of the tour, we have to be playing the song better then how it’s recorded.

When your whole world is shaken from all the risks we have taken,
Dance with me, dance with me into the colors of the dusk.

My choice is what I choose to do.
And if I'm causing no harm
It shouldn't bother you.
Your choice is who you choose to be.
And if your causin' no harm
Then you're alright with me.

The world awakens on the run
And will soon be earning
With hopes of better days to come
It's a morning yearning.

Fools will be fools,
And wise will be wise.
But I will look this world
Straight in the eyes.<p>What good is a man
Who won't take a stand?
What good is a cynic
With no better plan?
