Harper, Ben - I Shall Not Walk Alone Lyrics
Battered and torn
still I can see the light
tattered and worn
but I must kneel to fight
what can't you spare
I know some times
it gets cold in there
When my legs no longer carry
and the warm wind chills my bones
I reach for Mother Mary
and I shall not walk alone
Hope is alive
only tears
speak from my heart
break the chains
that hold us down
and we shall be
forever bound
When I'm tired and weary
and a long way from home
I reach for Mother Mary
and I shall not walk alone
I shall not walk alone
Beauty that
we left behind
how shall we
tomorrow find
Set aside
our weight in sin
so that we
can live again
When my legs no longer carry
and the warm wind chills my bones
I reach for Mother Mary
and I shall not walk alone
I shall not walk alone

This Is Us brought me here (the guitar riff is in the background of the Memphis episode). RIP William
I can't stop the tears from my eyes im deeply crying and yet I'm not in any pain
I remember hearing Ben sing this live, solo acapella, balancing on top of a monitor wedge at the front of the stage under a huge tent in front of about 7 or 8 thousand people. Byron Bay Bluesfest 2007.
He asked the crowd to settle down, mostly got what he asked for but drunk Aussie dickheads will be dickheads, with the shouting and hollering and whatnot. Once he started singing, you could hear a pin drop in the silence between his phrases.
Every single person there had a religious experience that night. And I say that as a dyed-in-the-wool athiest.
Edit: Oh yeah, and later he had John Butler and Jeff Lang up on stage with him. Best. Set. Ever.
sixstringedthing seen him there in 2001,it was brilliant ,he is a master of the craft n you he connects with every soul ,awesome
Yes, I shared that experience with you.
sixstringedthing .Amen brother
rips my heart to pieces as it lifts my spirit in joy... they reach
I just love Ben Harper and the Blind Boys from Alabamba. i shall never walk alone AMEN!
audio cough syrup
touching
I don't understand why he's singing like that. He's doing it on purpose. Why would anyone do that?
+Thomas O'Hare Ignorant to think otherwise? Well shit I didnt know we couldnt have different opinions. That's ok, he sucks to you.
wrong....
Who are your favorite vocalists?
Thomas O'Hare your first 3 words explain your problem.
You're a fucking idiot
amazing <3
so much spiritual resistance, resist you all brothers and sisters... greetings from argentina... we shall overcome, here is home for all the world...
It does not get better than this, I have yet to find a video/song with more emotion than this. This song digs so deep it hurts, it truly tears me in the best way possible. Something else enters the room when I hear this song, and idk what it is, but I am thankful whatever it/who is. Every musician wishes to get to the zone this guys are in. Peace beyond understanding... is what I feel.
I quite like William Wild -Feather... it’s even better IMO
Good night. I think you will appreciate this one
The only perfect and pure thing inside us is Him. He shows himself here. Amazing Ben, Thank you...
This my friends is the definition of music all of the emotions and heart combined
lost s1e8
I chose the original version of this song for my little brother's memorial service as its always moved me to tears. Tonight while I was struggling through a particularly difficult run that was almost triple my normal length, I was giving up and this song started playing through my headphones. At the same moment a breeze came out and cooled me. I finished my run strong. My brother and this song truly have my heart.
This song is so beautiful that I cry every time I hear it.
Ben harper bring me here! ^^
with me every single day, this song is my Mother Mary
LOST brought me here.......started watching the lost series from season one

@ImAGrateSpellr
I'm now at the beginning of season 5, you were right, it was unbelievably awesome! I know what you mean, I wish that'd be possible. But it's great too, to rewatch it again.
MRLONG758 Yes, Huey from The boondocks.

Lost brought me here (:
MAGNÍFICO !!!!!! NÃO ME CANSO DE VER...
SENSACIONAL !!!!!!!!!!!!
Simply beautiful!!
gooozebumps
man this is beautiful
I remember seeing Ben live at Byron Bay blues (East Coast Blues 'n' Roots Festival) in about 04 or 05, long before he met the Blind Boys.
He played the main stage, there were 5000+ people in the tent and midway through the set he quietened everyone down, stood up on one of the stage monitors and sang a traditional gospel tune similar to this, acapella. You could have heard a pin drop.
His voice wasn't as strong then as it is now and I was towards the back of the tent, but I heard every word.
I hope I'm never unlucky enough to run across the 7 people that dislike this
Deus seja louvado
Thanks for posting this. I've looked for it for years. Nothing to add to the comments, as you have all said everything I could have imagined. By these comments we really don't walk alone.
Sweetness ...remember satan runs from music and this is a good example why!!
Someone DISLIKED this?
I can't believe how many viewers had the same reaction to this. Chills, crying, hundreds of replays. It is an Amazing song, and this version does need to be released on an album or something. I have the DVD documentary with this on it. But I need it in my car so I can sing alone and cry at the top of my lungs whenever I choose.
Truly soulful. Music like this makes us strive to better ourselves. Check us out, MyStoryToday....hope you enjoy. Music is love....and its all around. Be blessed!
I love this
thanks you god, for beautiful voices. black, white, green, yellow, purple. no matter what the color of your skin, thank you for beautiful voices around the world.
human voice... the best musical instrument...!
this song takes me to a place of peace on my insides...my face is now leaking!!! im so thankful for the many blessings that happen my way..so undeserving i am.... :)
magnifique...
Strong as wood this music is-
dislikes == idiots
Breathtaking.
Au plus bas, entendre ce poème nous ouvre les portes des volutes bleues des paradis artificiels, une fleur cueillie dans le jardins des poètes maudits et déposer sur une pierre où l'on peut y voir graver le nom de ... Marie.
i hope this young lad plays halifax soon, lots of nice places to play here
i hope this young lad plays halifax ns soon, lots of great places to play

@OXJAWTEXAS give a man a home is one fight for your mind, and this song is on the will to live, i would say pick up any ben harper album that you can
I had to wipe the tears from my eyes. This is so good!
Beautiful..
simply beautiful!!! I shall not walk alone... thank you Lord!! thanks for posting this, it is so touching....
Just found this guy~LOVE THE BLIND BOYS~but what i'd like to know is why my eyes are running small rivlets of water, and my head keeps bowing down?? MAN!!!!!!
Is it possible he could be half as wonderful as he sings?? (you know-not stuck on himself like some others?) Then WHAT a combo the world is blest with, if true! ღ♥
Emotional, the blind boy in white Tshit cries, singing deep from his soul. beautiful emotion
best song ever!
what an incredible piece of work. thank you.
Incredible talents and a very powerful song. One of my favorites to listen to alone.
when you get chills through an entire song... only comfortable silence can follow
Unfortunately, 3 people believe they will walk alone.
Beautiful song.
that is THE MOST AMAZING song I've ever heard, everytime i listen to it i get chills running up my spine and it really grabs my emotionally.
