Ben Harper - The wil to live

Tekst :

I met a girl whose heart
was on the right hand side
and upon the left
an angel did reside
they told her mother
that she never would survive
but she kept the rhythm
and is still alive

We must all have
the will to live
you got to have
the will to live

Then I met a man
who had to walk with his hands
born into a world
he couldn t stand
blessed with life
but cursed as a man
still he walks taller
than most of us can

We must all have
the will to live
you got to have
the will to live

Some are born with more
and some born with less
so don t take for granted
the life we ve been blessed
it s hard to understand
that we re only a guest
and each one of us
shall be put to life s test

We must all have
the will to live
you got to have
the will to live

Ben Harper - Gather round the stone

Tekst :

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

Gather round the stone

Ashes from an unfinished life
Are all that s left
In a tear-drop-shaped locket
Hanging from his mother s chest

Gather round the stone

You whip the back of freedom
‘till it bleeds an oil stream
Then you sail down upon it
In your killing machine

Gather round the stone

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

Ben Harper - Bring the funk

Tekst :

When it s on the one
You know the funk s begun
When you are down and out
There is no doubt
You need the funk
Just bring the funk
Bring the funk
Bring the funk

Now what s the problem
Everybody s got them
Just get the hole
Out of your soul
And bring the funk
Bring me the funk
Bring the funk

If you got a glass closet
Don t you throw no bones
There s only getting
Until the getting s gone
So pass me the funk
(pass the funk)
Got to have my funk
(got to have my funk)
Oh- I need my funk
(need my funk)
Got to have my funk
(got to have my funk)
Some are jiving
Some are shuck
Some are just
Down on their luck
They just need the funk
(need the funk)
They got to have the funk
(got to have the funk)
Just bring em some funk
(bring the funk)
Just bring the funk
(just bring the funk)
Well, well
Bring it (repeat...)

Well stay black
(stay black)
Stay white
Stay brown get on down
Just bring the funk
Got to bring the funk
Bring the funk

Need it - I need it (repeat...)
Yeah

Well it s got to be solid
That s what you call it
Funk me up
Funk me down
Funk me sideways
Funk me all ways
Bring the funk
Got to bring the funk
Bring the funk

Oh- some things money can t fix
(like what?)
Some things only money will do the trick
It s not the end of the world
But I can see it from here
So bring - bring - bring - bring
Bring me the funk
(bring the funk)
Just bring the funk
(just bring me the funk)
Oh- bring the funk
(bring the funk)
(just bring me the funk)

Inne utwory

Losowe utwory

Życie to nie boisko

Już mrok
Księżyc nad chmurą gdzieś siadł
Więc zamknij drzwi
To pora
By sobie wszystko wybaczyć
I przywołać sny
Nie możesz wiecznie gnać
Wciąż tak wiele spraw
Znów jutro w lustrze twoja twarz

Ty wiesz
Masz jeszcze wiele przed sobą
Tak długich dni
Dla których
Znów w siebie...

Wielki wóz

W noc samotną, w noc szaloną
Gdy pijany księżyc śpi
Można z domu wyjść i zamknąć
Pokój nasz na klucze trzy

Trzeba jeszcze szepnąć tylko
Pięć magicznych znanych słów
I w mrok pobiec z deszczem, wiatrem
gdzie niczym stróż - Wielki Wóz
Jest spokojniej i bezpieczniej

Czeka...

Hollywood in school

Please don t be too long while you re gone
There ain t enough to keep me here too long
Not like the last time I stood in line
Just enough to keep me bouncing off the wall, yeah

The new day, the new tray that comes around
Pills and all, enough to kill him...

Free your mind

I ve seen you standing right in front of me
I ve seen you dreaming bout a world that s meant to be
I ve heard you talking to me constantly
You re eyes were gleaming and I long to feel you close to me

Free your mind
Cross that line
We can take a...

Weirdo

Get back the fact is that their giving me slack
cause I’m the prophet of naught and the gospel aphrodisiac.
Give me sorrow, I break it into love.
You gotta follow, I’m holding our people above.
No time to wait there’s the gate proceed.
I’ve...
