BEN HARPERWhat 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
BEN HARPERI dont know if hell exists, but there sure as hell are some people who dont belong in heaven.
BEN HARPERI grew up listening to spiritual music, Blind Willie Johnson and folk.
BEN HARPERI can change the world With my own two hands Make a better place With my own two hands Make a kinder place.
BEN HARPERI don’t know how to not become every person I walk by.
BEN HARPEREvery man’s actions belong to him.
BEN HARPERCould’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?
BEN HARPERDistance is temporary, but our love is permanent. 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.
BEN HARPERTime is really for those who really need it. I mean, I deal with it. A lot of people are slaves to the second, minute hand. I can’t do that!
BEN HARPERFearlessness, absolutely. Discipline. You also need open-minded creativeness that lets everything in. You never want to lose a word or a phrase, yet every one should count. Always the best language possible. And, finally, knowing when to leave it alone. Stop when it’s done.
BEN HARPERThe woman in you is the worry in me.
BEN HARPERThe 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.
BEN HARPERMy 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 you’re causin’ no harm, then your alright with me.
BEN HARPERIf it comes out sounding like Dixieland jazz or classical or punk or rock or even slightly metal, that’s because that’s where I’m going to find inspiration.
BEN HARPERNow 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.
