Fight Outta You - Ben Harper

Diamonds On The Inside - Ben Harper

I knew a girl
Her name was truth
She was a horrible liar.

She couldnt spend one day along
But she couldnt be satisfied

When you have everything,
You have everything to lose.
She made herself
A bed of nails
And shes plannin' on puttin' it to use.

Cos she had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
Diamonds

A candle throws its light into the darkness
In a nasty world,so shines the good deed
Make sure the fortune, that you seek
Is the fortune that you need.

So tell me why,the first to ask,is the last to give,everytime
What you say and do not mean
Follow too close behind

Cos she had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
Diamonds

Like a soldier standing long under fire
Any change comes as a relief.
Let the giver's name remain unspoken
For she is just a generous thief.

But she had diamonds on the inside
Cos she had diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds
Oh diamonds
She had diamonds
She wore diamonds
Diamonds

Please Bleed - Ben Harper

Make me feel like a beggar
Make me feel like a thief
Make me feel like a battle that cannot end in peace
Make me feel like running as if I’ve lost my nerve
Make me feel like crying tears I don't deserve

Please bleed
So I know that you are real
So I know that you can feel
The damage that you've done
Oh, who have I become
To myself I am numb
I am numb
I am numb

Is this really living
Sometimes it's hard to tell
Or is this just a kinder, gentler hell
Turn out the lights and let me stare into your soul
I was born and bled for you to hold

Never said thank you
Never said please
Never gave a reason to believe
So as it stands I remain on my knees
Good lovers make great enemies

Please bleed
So I know that you are real
So I know that you can feel
The damage that you’ve done
Oh, what have I become
To my self I numb
I am numb
I am numb

Ground On Down - Ben Harper

I believe in a few things
God, the devil and love
But I looked from the bottom
And I've stared down from above
And I have faith in a few things
Divinity and grace
But even when I'm on my knees
I know the devil prays
And you're workin' your way
From the ground on down

I hate to say I love you
Because it means that I will be
With your forever
Or we'll sadly say goodbye
And I love to say I hate you
Because it means that I will live
My life happily without ya
Or we'll sadly live a lie
And you're working your way
From the ground on down
On down
Your way from the ground on down
On... (check it out)

Life is short and if you're looking for extension
With your time you had best do well
Cause there's good deeds
And there's good intention
They're as far apart as heaven and hell
I said you're working your way
From the ground on down

Better Way - Ben Harper

I'm a living sunset
Lightning in my bones
Push me to the edge
But my will is stone

I believe in a better way

Fools will be fools
And wise will be wise
But I will look this world
Straight in the eyes

I believe in a better way
I believe in a better way

What good is a man
Who won't take a stand
What good is a cynic
With no better plan

I believe in a better way
I believe in a better way

Reality is sharp
It cuts at me like a knife
Everyone I know
Is in the fight of their life

I believe in a better way

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
I believe in a better way

Morning Yearning - Ben Harper

My fingers touch upon my lips
It’s a morning yearning
It’s a morning yearning
Pull the curtains shut try to keep it dark
But the sun is burning
The sun is burning

The world awakens on the run
And we’ll soon be earning
We’ll soon be earning
With hopes of better days to come
That’s a morning yearning
Just a morning yearning

Morning yearning…

Another day another chance to get it right
Must I still be learning?
Must I still be learning?
Baby crying kept us up all night
With her morning yearning
With her morning yearning

Morning yearning…

Like a summer rose I’m a victim of the fall
But am soon returning
Soon returning
You’re love’s the warmest place the sun ever shines
My morning yearning
My morning yearning

Morning yearning…

She's Only Happy In The Sun - Ben Harper

I know you may not want to see me
On your way down from the clouds
Would you hear me if I told you
That my heart is with you now

She's only happy in the sun
She's only happy in the sun

Did you find what you were after
The Pain and the laughter brought you to your knees
But if the sun sets you free, sets you free
You'll be free indeed

She's only happy in the sun
She's only happy in the sun

Every time I hear you laughing, hear you laughing
It makes me cry
Like the story of life,
Of your life,
Is hello, goodbye

She's only happy in the sun x4

Steal My Kisses - Ben Harper

I put into Nashville, Tennessee
But you wouldn't even come around to see me
And since your headin' up to Carolina
You know I gonna be right there behind you

CHORUS:
'Cause I always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you

Now I love to feel that warm southern rain
Just to hear it fall is the sweetest sounding thing
And to see it fall on your simple country dress
It's like heaven to me I must confess

CHORUS

Now I've been hangin around you for days
But when I lean in you just turn your head away
I know you didn't mean that
She said I love the way you think but I hate the way you act

CHORUS

Always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you

Lifelines - Ben Harper

Boa Sorte/Good Luck - Vanessa Da Mata feat. Ben Harper

É só isso
Não tem mais jeito
Acabou, boa sorte

Não tenho o que dizer
São só palavras
E o que eu sinto
Não mudará

Tudo o que quer me dar
É demais
É pesado
Não há paz

Tudo o que quer de mim
Irreais
Expectativas
Desleais

That’s it
There is no way
It over, Good luck

I have nothing left to say
It’s only words
And what I feel
Won’t change

Tudo o que quer me dar / Everything you want to give me
É demais / It´s too much
É pesado/ It’s heavy
Não há paz / There is no peace

Tudo o que quer de mim / All you want from me
Irreais / Isn´t real
Expectativas / Expectations
Desleais

Mesmo, se segure
Quero que se cure
Dessa pessoa
Que o aconselha

Há um desencontro
Veja por esse ponto
Há tantas pessoas especiais

Now even if you hold yourself
I want you to get cured
From this person
Who poisoned you

There is a disconnection
See through this point of view
There are so many special people in the world
So many special people in the world
In the world
All you want
All you want

Tudo o que quer me dar / Everything you want to give me
É demais / It´s too much
É pesado / It’s heavy
Não há paz / There is no peace

Tudo o que quer de mim / All you want from me
Irreais/ Isn’t real
Expectativas / Expectations
Desleais

Now were Falling into the night
Um bom encontro é de dois
