You can kill a lot of time If you really put your mind to it Or leave it all behind And never go through it I keep hearing your name Nothing else sounds the same As hearing your name You can kill a lot of time If you really put your mind to it Or leave it all behind And never go through it I've been hoping for you What else can I do But keep hoping for you You can kill a lot of time If you really put your mind to it Or leave it all behind And never go through it What else can I do Keep waiting for you Picture In A Frame Written by: Harper/Ward/Nelson/Yates/Charles/Mobley You can sell your soul But you can't buy it back I've spent my whole life Working to give you Everything you lack I wish you were here So we could walk and talk In the soft rain Now all that's left of us Is a picture sitting in a frame I would gladly trade All of my sympathy For sorrow If I could have you If I could have you here with me tomorrow I wish you were here So we could walk and talk In the soft rain Now all that's left of us Is a picture sitting in a frame Everything I wish for Is everything I see I remember when your kisses were for me So many wasted days The past is so hard to get out from under

So many words that I wish I could say The future rattles my bones weak like thunder I wish you were here So we could walk and talk In the soft rain Now all that's left of us Is a picture sitting in a frame Everything I wish for Is everything I see I remember when your kisses were for me Never Leave Lonely Alone Written by: Ben Harper Like an old man Sitting alone at a lunch counter Like a small town girl A big city devours Some of us laugh Even in our darkest hour Never leave lonely alone Unspoken rules of solitude Wound without a trace A lifetime of dreams roll down your face All that we can't say Is all we need to hear When you close your eyes Does the world disappear There's something in everyone Only they know It moves in the hidden ways Of joy and sorrow Never leave lonely alone Reason To Mourn Written by: Ben Harper I can't know the hell you love But I know you've had enough Some baptize in water Some in flames What has life done to you All you ever wanted was someone to run to you There's more to life than what makes you cry Don't you give me a reason to mourn Look into my eyes with all your hate and scorn I'll remove the crown of sorrow which you have been adorned But don't you give me a reason to mourn More Than Sorry Written by: Harper/Kalb

Goodbye Hasn't been so good to me Stepped out into the night Back against the moon I saw ten thousand hands with candlelight We all think that we're right It's hard to tell If the night is full of hope or doom My eyes Burn with unshed tears My body is weak From so many silent years Too many people say goodbye Before they say hello Step into the morning And disappear What more than sorry can I say What more than sorry can I be Before our love fades away What more than sorry Do you want from me Cryin' Won't Help You Now Written by: Ben Harper Sit there and call me A liar and a cheat I just wish you'd pin a rose on me Now you won't even Come out and take a bow Cryin' wont help you now Now your poets Have all put down their pens The only songs to sing Are those sung again Lonely just doesn't Look good on you somehow Cryin' wont help you now I just keep on staring Into the black eyes of the truth We'll have to learn to live apart somehow Cryin' wont help you now Happy Everafter In Your Eyes Written by: Ben Harper The morning sunrise spread her wings While the moon hung in the sky Held the sea in your hands And happy everafter in your eyes Couldn't leave you to go to heaven I carry you in my smile

For the first time my true reflection I see Happy everafter in your eyes Every star in the night Promises the dawn I will be there if you fall To ever so heavily rest upon All that I can give you Is forever yours to keep Wake up every day with a dream And happyever after in your eyes Happy everafter is in your eyes Better Way Written by: Ben Harper I'm a living sunset Lightning in my bones Push me to the edge But my will is stone Fools will be fools And wise will be wise But i will look this world Straight in the eyes What good is a Who won't take What good is a With no better man a stand cynic plan

Reality is sharp It cuts at me like a knife Everyone i know Is in the fight of their life Take your face out of your hands And clear your eyes You have a right to your dreams And don't be denied I believe in a better way Both Sides Of The Gun Written by: Ben Harper Living these days is making me nervous Archaic doctrine no longer serve us Now we're left as silent witnesses We don't know quite what this is Other than a war that can't be won I feel like I'm crowded, I can't get out World keeps on filling me up with doubt When you're trapped you got no voice Where you're born you got no choice Other than to go and take you some

One dimensional fool In a three dimensional world Politics, it's a drag They put one foot in the grave And the other on the flag Systems rotten to the core Young and old deserve much more Than struggling every day until you're done Tension Too much to mention Living on both sides of the gun Engraved Invitation Written by: Ben Harper I wish I was a thought I'd run all through your mind And come out being everything You ever tried to find Life's the longest picture You're ever gonna take Love's the longest promise That you're ever gonna break I wish Louder All of I said I could yell sorry than I screamed those other things but didn't mean

Some days I'm the lord's servant Some days I'm satan's pawn Some days I just wish The voices in my head were gone The sun's a moon that warms you The moon's a sun with no heat The sky above is to remind you What's under your feet This life's not big enough To fit our love inside 'cause I remember you from heaven The last time I died It's an engraved invitation To leave all this time we've been wasting Black Rain Written by: Harper/Yates You left them swimming for their lives Down in new orleans Can't afford a gallon of gasoline With your useless degrees and contrary statistics This government business is straight up sadistic Now you don't fight for us

But You But Now But

expect us to die for you have no sympathy for us still i cry for you you may kill the revolutionary the revolution you can never bury

Don't speak to us like we work for you Selling false hope like some new dope we're addicted to I'm not a desperate man but these are desperate times at hand This generation is beyond your command And it won't be long 'til the people flood the streets To take you down One and all A black rain is gonna fall Gather 'Round The Stone Written by: Ben Harper You're too young to know That you're too young to go There's no freedom to be found Lying face up in the ground Ashes from an unfinished life Are all that's left In a tear-drop-shaped locket Hanging from his mother's chest You whip the back of freedom 'till it bleeds an oil stream Then you sail down upon it In your killing machine Old men who send children Off to die in vain They will hear death's constant whisper Call remember my name Gather 'round the stone Please Don't Talk About Murder While I'm Eating Written by: Ben Harper You're the first one to get there And always the last one to leave You're the first one to chuckle But the last one to grieve I know all too well the world takes a daily beating Please don't talk about murder while I'm eating You walk into the temple And call it a church I try to keep things simple But you always need the works Your life is marked by numbers and symbols Excessive drinking from out of golden thimbles Just a moment of silence I'm needing

So let's not talk about murder while I'm eating You get all hot and bothered At the strangest times and places But don't notice the looks on all the other faces You're dressed for summer in the middle of December What you've all but forgotten I painfully remember I don't care in the least what you're reading Please don't talk about murder while I'm eating Get It Like You Like It Written by: Ben Harper Throw your hands up to the sky And scream out loud I'm free 'cause wrong is the new right So we can cut loose tonight It costs a lot to look this cheap Fire makes it burn and water makes it turn We must still be here living on earth They keep telling me jesus walked on water He shoulda surfed In 1918 the great bambino Kicked a piano into willis pond But johnny damon swung a bat Grand slam that was that An 86 year curse is gone Throw your hands up to the sky And scream I'm not alone Is it irony or fate Don't become what you hate We've all got stardust in our bones Get it like you like it The Way You Found Me Written by: Ben Harper The more I smoke, the more I drink The more I talk, the less I think The less I think, the more I feel Folks don't change They just reveal My mind is broke, my last nerve is shot What you want from me, I ain't got Two plus two will never be twenty-two So please don't tell me twice what I need to do There's no rules to lust Only passion, and it can be so unjust If we don't speak, we'll get along just fine Don't ask me how I'm doing 'cause I don't feel like lying

Take me as I am Or leave me the way you found me Serve Your Soul Written by: Ben Harper Battles over which direction to kneel People reaching out to touch But forgetting to feel Daily breath shouldn't be a daily penance Is that what you believe Or just a life sentence I look into the mirror And I see someone there I used to know They all want you to serve them But the only one you got to serve Is your soul So much time And at such a cost We spend looking for what we've lost Now that you know You can't find it from him You're gonna have to find it within I look into the mirror And I see that life has taken its toll They'll all want you to serve them But the only one you got to serve Is your soul Listen to the wind it won't lie to you If you love it let it go And watch it fly to you Every setting sun gently weeps You can always hear it 'cause trust never sleeps
