All Aboard lyrics - Piers Faccini, Abdelkebir Merchane & Ben Harper

All aboard pull the oar and row

All aboard to the poles we go

All aboard take the oar and row

Climb aboard for the gale will blow

All aboard to the prairies wild

All aboard man woman and child

All aboard to the prairies wild

Back to back and side to side

All aboard watch paradise burn

All aboard for the past I yearn

All aboard watch paradise burn

Douse the flame will it ever return

All aboard Noah built the arc

All aboard now the choice is stark

All aboard came two by two

All aboard will he come for you

All aboard Noah built the arc

All aboard before the day was dark

All aboard run from the frey

All aboard we'll sail away

All aboard now the waters rise

All aboard thunder in the skies

All aboard now the waters rise

On the plank before the last light dies

All aboard pull the oar and row

All aboard to the poles we go

All aboard take the oar and row

Climb aboard for the gale will blow

My master and learned one

May peace be upon you learned master

Master Chamharouche

Who holds all knowledge of the ceremony

And who dwells in the cave

Sultan of the Djinns

May peace be upon you learned master

All aboard pull the oar and row

All aboard to the poles we go

All aboard take the oar and row

Climb aboard for the gale will blow

All aboard to the prairies wild

All aboard man woman and child

All aboard to the prairies wild

Back to back and side by side

All aboard now the waters rise

All aboard thunder in the skies

All aboard now the waters rise

On the plank before the last light dies

All aboard pull the oar and row

All aboard to the poles we go

All aboard take the oar and row

Climb aboard for the gale will blow

Be My Guest lyrics - Ben Harper

Come on baby won't you be my guest

Join the party and meet the rest

Everything is gonna be so right

Just be my guest tonight

We're gonna dance to the rock 'n' roll

We're gonna groove do the stroll

We're gonna Lindy Hop and Suzy Q

A special party for you

My, my-oh-mine, you know you know you're so fine

Don't let me down

I'm the king but you can wear my crown

I'm gonna sing, my band is gonna play

Won't you be my queen for a day

Everything is gonna be all right

Be my guest tonight

My, my-oh-mine, you know you're so fine

Don't let me down

I'm the king but you can wear my crown

I'm gonna sing, my band's gonna play

Gonna make you queen for a day

Everything, everything will be all right

So be my guest tonight

Black Beauty lyrics - Ben Harper

(from "Black Boys" soundtrack)

Beautiful, so beautiful

Beautiful, so beautiful

I am an astronaut

I am a president

I am a revolutionary

I'm your neighbor

We are black

We are black

We are beautiful

So beautiful

I'm a son and I'm a daughter

A teacher and a farmer

A race car driver

A poet and an astronomer

We are black

We are black

We are beautiful

So beautiful

Beautiful

Beautiful

From the creator is all of creation

Reimagine your imagination

In the balance the fate of a nation

Fate of a nation, fate of a nation

Evolution without revolution

Breeds a racist institution

Part of the problem or the solution?

Don't pretend not to see and expect absolution

I'm not what you think I am

I'm not what they say I am

I rise up and I take my stand

I am whatever I dream to be

We are black

We are beautiful

So beautiful

We are beautiful

So beautiful

We are black

We are black

We are beautiful

So beautiful

So beautiful

We are black and beautiful

Black and beautiful

Black and beautiful

Black and beautiful

Black and beautiful...

Black Eyed Dog lyrics - Ben Harper & Rhiannon Giddens

(originally by Nick Drake)

Black eyed dog he called at my door

The black eyed dog he called for more

A black eyed dog he knew my name

A black eyed dog he knew my name

I'm growing old and I wanna go home

I'm growing old and I don't wanna know

I'm growing old and I wanna go home

Black eyed dog he called at my door

The black eyed dog he called for more

Don't Let Me Disappear lyrics - Ben Harper

Been so long since

It felt easy

Been too long since

Anyone could reach me

It's slipping away

Don't let me disappear

I am broken, but

We are whole

Like a train down the track

Days over me roll

So tired of hurting

Don't let me disappear

We're too young

To regret so much

We're too scorned to

Ever trust

It's coming apart

Don't let me disappear

I'm just tryin' to catch up to myself

While leaving myself behind

And while the world spins

We hang off the side

The lights are bright and

This place is closing

I can't go home, and

Face this morning

Just keep me still

Don't let me disappear

Been so long since

It was easy

Been so long since

Anyone could reach me

It's slippin' away

Don't let me disappear

Don't let me disappear

Don't let me disappear

Don't let me disappear

Fix You lyrics - Ben Harper & Soweto Gospel Choir (feat. Jordan C. Brown)

When you try your best but you don't succeed

When you get what you want but not what you need

When you feel so tired but you can't sleep

Stuck in reverse

When the tears come streaming down your face

When you lose something you can't replace

When you love someone but it goes to waste

Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

Well high up above or down below ([Zulu:] Thula) [English translation: "Be Still"]

When you're too in love to let it go (Thula)

If you never try you'll never know (Thula)

Just what you're worth (Thula Uzobunga) [English translation: "Be Still, All Will Be Well"]

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

[Zulu:] Ukukhanya Kuzokubonisa Indlela

[English translation: "The Light Will Show You The Way"]

Ukukhanya Kuzokubonisa Indlela

Ukukhanya Kuzokubonisa Indlela

Ukukhanya Kuzokubonisa Indlela

Ukukhanya Kuzokubonisa Indlela

Ukukhanya Kuzokubonisa Indlela

Ukukhanya Kuzokubonisa Indlela

Ukukhanya Kuzokubonisa Indlela

Ukukhanya Kuzokubonisa Indlela

Ukukhanya Kuzokubonisa Indlela

Ukukhanya Kuzokubonisa Indlela

Ukukhanya Kuzokubonisa Indlela

Ukukhanya Kuzokubonisa Indlela

Ukukhanya Kuzokubonisa Indlela

Ukukhanya Kuzokubonisa Indlela

Ukukhanya Kuzokubonisa Indlela

Tears stream down your face

When you lose something you cannot replace

Tears stream down your face

And I

Tears stream down your face

I promise you I will learn from my mistakes

Tears stream down your face

And I

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

He Was A Friend Of Mine lyrics - Tom Freund & Ben Harper

He was a friend of mine

He was a friend of mine

Every time I think about him now

Lord I just can't keep from cryin'

'Cause he was a friend of mine

He died on the road

He died on the road

He never had enough money

To pay his room or board

And he was a friend of mine

I stole away and cried

I stole away and cried

'Cause I never had too much money

And I never been quite satisfied

And he was a friend of mine

He never done no wrong

He never done no wrong

A thousand miles from home

And he never harmed no one

And he was a friend of mine

He was a friend of mine

He was a friend of mine

Every time I hear his name

Lord I just can't keep from cryin'

'Cause he was a friend of mine

'Cause he was a friend of mine

Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology) lyrics - Ben Harper

(originally by Marvin Gaye)

(from "Extrapolations" soundtrack)

Whoa

Oh, mercy, mercy me

Oh, things ain't what they used to be, no

Where did all the blue skies go?

Poison is the wind that blows from the North and South and East and West

Whoa, mercy, mercy me

Oh, things ain't what they used to be, no, no

Oil wasted on the oceans and upon our seas

Fish full of mercury

Oh, oh, mercy, mercy me

Oh, things ain't what they used to be

Radiation underground and in the sky

Animals and birds who live nearby are dying

Oh, mercy, mercy me

Oh, things ain't what they used to be

What about this overcrowded land?

How much more abuse from man can she stand?

Whoa, good Lord

Whoa, mercy, mercy me

Whoa, good Lord

Sweet Lord

No, no, no, no, no

My sweet Lord

Help us, help us, help us, help us...

Spin It Faster lyrics - Ben Harper & Ziggy Marley

DJ play that song for me

With the one drop beat

I'm not here to lean on the wall

Got to move my feet

I'm your everlaster

I'm your everlaster

Spin it faster

Spin it faster

Spin it faster

Spin it faster

Some need religion

Some just need a plan

Better use too much butter

Than to burn the pan

Reverend, priest, preacher and a pastor

Reverend, priest, preacher and a pastor

Spin it faster

Spin it faster

Spin it faster

Spin it faster

Repetition is to conviction

What a hammer is to a stone

Hard times they will come

But hard times they'll be gone

Go ahead and ask her

Go ahead and ask her

Spin it faster

Spin it faster

Spin it faster

Spin it faster

Time Has Told Me lyrics - Ben Harper

(originally by Nick Drake)

Time has told me you're a rare, rare find

A troubled cure for a troubled mind

And time has told me not to ask for more

For someday our ocean will find its shore

So I'll leave the ways that are making me be

What I really don't want to be

Leave the ways that are making me love

What I really don't want to love

Time has told me you came with the dawn

A soul with no footprint, a rose with no thorn

Your tears they tell me there's really no way

Of ending your troubles with things we can say

And time will tell you to stay by my side

To keep on trying till there's no more to hide

So leave the ways that are making you be

What you really don't want to be

Leave the ways that are making you love

What you really don't want to love

Time has told me you're a rare, rare find

Troubled cure for a troubled mind

And time has told me not to ask for more

Some days our oceans will find the shore

Uneven Days lyrics - Ben Harper

You're the furthest I've been

From the end of the world

The closest I've come

To being sane

I try again

But my life is hurled

Into a void I

Can't explain

Uneven days pin me to the floor

Uneven days, who am I to ask for more

Uneven days, uneven days

On a bad day it isn't better

On a good day it isn't worse

When you and I aren't together

Our love is just pain in reverse

Uneven days pin me to the floor

Uneven days, I try to find the door

Uneven days, uneven days

Who am I to stand in your way

Who am I to stand in your way

In your way

I talk like the dead can hear me

I run like I could fly

When you're not near me

There's just enough sorrow to survive

Uneven days pin me to the floor

Uneven days, who am I to ask for more

Uneven days, uneven days

Uneven days, uneven days

Uneven days, uneven days
