Top 15 Ben Harper Quotes

Some things
You have to let be lost
Some battles, some battles
You have to leave unfought.<p>Then the truth just wastes away
In all we dare not say.
And in all we can't explain
But I faithfully remain.

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.

The very thing that drives you, can drive you insane
Got a head full of thought crimes and a number with no name
Got an eleventh hour Jesus and a mouth full of blame
A casket lined with silver dollars and a number with no name.

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.

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.

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?

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

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.

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

A candle throws its light into the darkness
In a nasty world, so shines the good deed
Make sure the fortune, that you seek
Is the fortune you need.

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

Now I've been hangin' 'round you for days,
Bt when I lean in you just turn your head away.
Oh no, you didn't mean that.
She said I love the way you think, but I hate the way you act.

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.

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