Ben Harper "Burn One Down"



I need a little pick me up tonight, feeling kinda numb. How can one feel down when they hear this song??? I will post the lyrics so you can sing along with Ben, just pause the music on my player and enjoy. I do want to say that this song is more then the lyrics to me. "If you don't like my fire then don't come around". My fire is anything I like to do, my family, my friends, or even just me (I am going to be me, I don't change for anyone). I am thankful for all the people I have in my life, those that love my fire and stick around. So here are the lyrics...push play and sing your heart out!! :-)

 Let us burn one
from end to end
and pass it over
to me my friend
burn it long, we'll burn it slow
to light me up before I go

if you don't like my fire
then don't come around
cause I am gonna burn one down
yes I am gonna burn one down

my choice is what I choose to do
and if I'm causing no harm
it shouldn't bother you
your choice is who you choose to be
and if your causin' no harm
then you're alright with me

if you don't like my fire
then don't come around
cause I'm gonna burn one down
yes I am gonna burn one down

herb the gift from the earth
and what's from the earth
is of the greatest worth
so before you knock it try it first
oh, you'll see it's a blessing
and its not a curse

if you don't like my fire
then don't come around
cause I'm gonna burn one down
yes I'm gonna burn one ughh...

  1. Pick me, Pick me! I want to be the gas that lights your fire. You are an amazing person, and I love that you won't change for anyone. A different Cheryl would not be the little sister that I look up to :)
