Ben Harper

The spirit is what guides my life, and I’m humbly on my knees in thanks for guidance and direction every day. But God is not something to be preached, it’s something to be lived.
BEN HARPER

God Knees Thanks
Some things You have to let be lost Some battles, some battles You have to leave unfought. Then the truth just wastes away In all we dare not say. And in all we can’t explain But I faithfully remain.
BEN HARPER

Battle Lost Waste

BEN HARPER

Darkness Dawn Friends Old

I’m not going to do the Ben Harper house record or the Ben Harper drum ‘n’ bass record.
BEN HARPER

Time 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 HARPER

Hands Mean Reality
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.
BEN HARPER

Morning Running Sweet
You have to do what you believe in.
BEN HARPER

Believe Self Love Trust
