Now while there'southward even so time to exist saved
Don't take that attitude to your grave
Might be too tardily for you lot I'm agape
Don't take that mental attitude to your grave
Don't you accept it there

I hear helicopters
Over my firm every twenty-four hour period
Shining their lights and flying low
Care for a kid like a criminal
From the day that he is built-in
And y'all're gonna reap just what y'all sow
Now while there's still time to be saved
Don't accept that mental attitude to your grave
Might exist too late for yous I'm afraid
Don't take that attitude to your grave
Don't you take information technology at that place

So you can move your court case
Way beyond town
You can motility it beyond the whole broad globe
But it ain't gonna help your court instance
Up in the sky
When you go to put on your white robe
At present while there's yet time to exist saved
Don't take that mental attitude to your grave
Might be too late for y'all I'm agape
They don't want it there
Don't yous take it there

And you dare the children
To stay off of drugs
Now I dare you to end letting them in
And how dare you point your finger
At a gang out on the street
While it'south yous who is committing the sin
Now while in that location's still time to exist saved
Don't accept that attitude to your grave
Might be too late for yous I'm afraid
Don't take that attitude to your grave
Don't y'all have information technology there
They don't want it there
You know your mother taught you lot better
Don't have that attitude to your grave

Forever

length: iii:23
song: Ben Harper

Not talkin' 'bout a year
No non three or four
I don't want that kind of forever
In my life anymore
Forever always seems
To be effectually when information technology begins
Simply forever never seems
To be around when it ends
So give me your forever
Please your forever
Not a day less will do From you

People spend then much time
Every unmarried 24-hour interval
Runnin' 'round all over town
Givin' their forever away
But no not me
I won't let my forever roam
And now I hope I can observe
My forever a domicile
And so requite me your forever
Please your forever
Not a day less will practice
From yous

Like a handless clock with numbers
An space of time
No non the forever found
Merely in the listen
Forever always seems
To be effectually when things begin
But forever never seems
To exist effectually when things finish
So give me your forever
Please your forever
Not a mean solar day less will exercise
From y'all

How I wish you could help united states Dr. Male monarch
Make sure it's filmed
Shown on national T.V.

Like a male monarch, like a king, similar a king
How I wish yous could aid the states Dr. Male monarch
So if you catch yourself
Thinking it has changed for the all-time
You better second guess
Cause Martin's dream

Like a king, similar a king, like a male monarch
How I wish y'all could help usa Dr. King

Pleasure and Pain

length: 3:46
vocal: Ben Harper

I'one thousand leaving here on the morn railroad train
And I will never run across this globe once more
I've felt pleasure
And I have felt pain
And I know now
That I can never be the aforementioned

How I wonder why the world tin can be so cold
And if simply proficient die young
Then left with me cruel here to grow old
And I felt pleasure
And I felt pain
And I know now
I can never be the same

And if someday I find my peace of mind
I will share my wealth with all of homo kind
I've felt pleasure
And I have felt hurting
And I know now
That I can never exist the same

So if the sun does shine or rain does fall
I requite thanks I've had my sight to run into through it all
And I've felt pleasance
And I've felt hurting
And I know now
That I can never be the same

Walk Away

length: 3:49
vocal: Ben Harper

Oh no
Hither comes that sun over again
That means another 24-hour interval
Without you my friend

And it hurts me
To look into the mirror at myself
And it hurts even more than
To have to be with somebody else
And it's and then hard to do
Then easy to say
Only sometimes
Sometimes you simply have to walk away
Walk away

With then many people
To beloved in my life
Why practise I worry
Nigh ane

But you lot put the happy
In my ness
Y'all put the practiced times
Into my fun
And it's so hard to do
And so easy to say
But sometimes
Sometimes you only accept to walk away
Walk away
And head for the door

We've tried the adieu
So many days
We walk in the aforementioned management
So that we could never stray
They say if you love somebody
Than you have got to set them free
Only I would rather be locked to you
Than live in this pain and misery

They say time will
Make all this go away
Just it's fourth dimension that has taken my tomorrows
And turned them into yesterdays
And once again that ascension sunday
Is droppin' on downward
And one time again yous my friend
Are nowhere to exist found
And it's and then hard to exercise
And and then piece of cake to say
But sometimes
Sometimes you lot just have to walk away
Walk abroad
And caput for the door
You lot only walk away
Walk away

How Many Miles Must We March

length: iii:09
vocal: Ben Harper

Exactly how much will have to burn
Before we will expect to the past to learn
Nosotros walk along this endless path
Which has led u.s.a. in a circle
And so here nosotros are correct dorsum
We tin can't permit the future go our by
If we are to change the world
Won't you lot tell me
Tell me please
How many miles must we march
How many miles must we march

When I was a baby I was not prejudiced
Hey how well-nigh you
This was something
That I learned in school
Something they taught u.s.a. to exercise
We tin can't let our future become our past
If we are to change the globe
Won't you tell me
Tell me please
How many miles must we march
How many miles must we march

In that location must come a 24-hour interval
When a box is not somebody's home
The unfinished work of our heroes
Must truly be our ain
We can't let the futurity become our past
If nosotros are to change the world
Won't you tell me
Tell me please
How many miles must we march
How many miles must we march
How many miles must nosotros march
How many miles must we march
How many miles must we march
How many miles must we march

I'll Ascension

You may write me downward in history
With your bitter twisted lies
You may trod me downwardly in the very dirt
And still like the grit I'll rise
Does my happiness upset you lot
Why are you best with gloom
Cause I express mirth similar I've got an oil well
Pumpin' in my living room

And so y'all may shoot me with your words
You may cutting me with your eyes
And I'll ascension
I'll rise
I'll rise
Out of the shacks of history's shame
Up from a by rooted in hurting
I'll rise
I'll rise
I'll rise

Now did you want to see me broken
Bowed head and lowered eyes
Shoulders fallen down similar tear drops
Weakened by my soulful cries

Does my confidence upset y'all
Don't you take it awful hard
Crusade I walk like I've got a diamond mine
Breakin up in my front yard

So you may shoot me with your words
You may cut me with your eyes
And I'll rise
I'll rise
I'll ascension
Out of the shacks of history'southward shame
Up from a past rooted in hurting
I'll ascent
I'll rise
I'll ascent

So you may write me downwards in history
With your bitter twisted lies
Y'all may trod me downwardly in the very clay
And still like the dust I'll rise

Does my happiness upset you
Why are you best with gloom
Cause I laugh like I've got a goldmine
Diggin' up in my living room

At present you may shoot me with your words
Yous may cut me with your eyes
And I'll rise
I'll rise
I'll rise
Out of the shacks of history's shame
Upward from a past rooted in hurting
I'll ascent
I'll rise
I'll rise
