Lyrics:
You're the reason
Aliens would come down to earth
Outer space must look small
From inside your universe
We paint time
With the colors of our lives
With what we do to survive
If I were the branch
Of an old oak tree
I hope you'd be the one
On the swing tied to me
Your love is on a need to know basis
And I need to know right nowBen Harper - Slide Guitar, Vocals

Slavery
We need to talk about it
I say Black Lives Matter
'Cause history says we don't
You're either a Christian or a racist
You can't be bothSlavery
We need to talk about it
What does it say about America
What does it say about Africa
What does it say about all of usWhoever said time heals all wounds
Wasn't a slave I'm guessing
Hundreds of years
That's just too long of a lesson
What does it say about the buyer
What does it say about the seller
What does it say about all of usHow does a ghost forgive
How are we supposed to live
With 12 million taken
Not one single reparation
What does it say about forgiveness
What does it say about compassion
About justice
About fairness
About the law and the l and
About then
What does it say about nowWe Need To Talk About It

Jah Work (A Lewis Marnell Tribute)
Song
Jah WorkMore about
Ben Harper & The Innocent CriminalsDirected by
J. GarcíaBen Harper is helping to raise money for the family of Australian pro skateboarder Lewis Marnell, whose untimely death in January at the age of 30 left his family in dire financial straits. A lifelong skateboarding enthusiast and friend to skaters around the world, Harper has reunited with the Innocent Criminals for the first time since 2007 to re-record the song "Jah Work" from his 1997 album, "The Will to Live." The song is now available on iTunes, with all proceeds going to the Lewis Marnell family memorial fund.
"Lewis was a brilliant artist and athlete not to mention a truly beautiful soul. We loved him and his contributions to skating, and we thought a song would be a wonderful way to celebrate his life and help his family." said Harper.
Marnell died Jan. 18 from complications of diabetes, a disease he lived with from the age of 10. He did not allow his condition to impede his meteoric skateboarding career. He skated with such passion and style that can't be replicated, he made all his tricks look effortless and his love for life was infectious. In 2008 he made his mark when he went pro for Almost Skateboards and he was named Skater of the Year from Australian skateboarding magazine slam. Marnell got married in late 2012, and died only a few months later, leaving his family with a large debt. Global efforts to help the family financially ensued, with Harper's being the latest.
