The good news is at this point as I get older, the load has gotten heavier but my shoulders have gotten wider because I’ve gotten happier so it’s a damn good thing.
BEN HARPERThe good news is at this point as I get older, the load has gotten heavier but my shoulders have gotten wider because I’ve gotten happier so it’s a damn good thing.
BEN HARPERThe 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 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 HARPERThese eyes weren’t made for crying, this love wasn’t made to waste. These arms weren’t made for battle, but to share in your embrace.
BEN HARPERSome 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 HARPERNow 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…
BEN HARPERA candle throws its light into the darkness, in a nasty world so shines a good deed. Make sure the fortune that you seek is the fortune that you need.
BEN HARPERGenetics do play a role in how you consciously or subconsciously manifest your true self.
BEN HARPERLet us burn one from end to end, and pass it over to me my friend.
BEN HARPERYou can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.
BEN HARPERThey say time will make all this go away. But it’s time that has taken my tomorrows and turned them into yesterdays.
BEN HARPERIf you’re gonna live, then live it up.
BEN HARPERYou have to do what you believe in.
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 HARPERAs a songwriter, I don’t rush. I may sit on lyrics for two years before the music hits.
BEN HARPERSometimes I feel I know strangers Better than I know my friends Why must a beginning Be the means to an end? The stones from my enemies These wounds will mend But I cannot survive The roses from my friends.
