Ben Harper Lyrics

I will wait like nothing
I have ever waited for
I will catch your tears from falling
Until from my hands they pour
You can leave me here abandoned
I'll be here if you walk back in
Like the rest I have been branded
far beneath the skin

You shall be forgiven

Here I have been standing
But the time has come and gone
I try singing to you
But you turn my words to stone
Here I have been waiting
It seems for quite a while
Changed are my reflections
But inside still just a child

You shall be forgiven

These eyes weren't made for crying
This love wasn't made to waste
These arms were made for battle
But to share in your embrace

You shall be forgiven
