Ben Harper Quotes

Real life has let you down.
Real life has let you down.
Someone stripped the jewel from your crown.
Everybody owes somebody something.

Take my hand when you're alone
Take my hand and let me guide you
Take my hand to lead you home.

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.<p>I have faith in a few things:
Divinity and grace.

It will make a mighty man fall.
It will fill your heart and hands;
Or leave you with nothing at all.

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.

Bt when I lean in you just turn your head away.

Sometimes I feel I know strangers
Better than I know my friends
Why must a beginning
Be the means to an end?<p>The stones from my enemies
These wounds will mend
But I cannot survive
The roses from my friends.

Now that you've grown up
You can finally learn to be a child
We made it to the end of the world
But we'll never make it out alive.

You can run away from home
But you can't run away from your pain
I sit here alone
There's always someone else to blame.

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.

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.

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

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.
