Burn One Down Lyrics
Artist: Ben Harper
Album: Fight For Your Mind
Let us burn one, from end to end.
And pass is over to me my friend.
Burn it long, but burn it slow,
to light me up before I go.
If you dont like my fire, then dont come around.
Cause I'm gonna burn one down.
Yes I'm gonna burn one down
My choice is what i chose to do;
and if I'm causin no harm,
it shouldn't bother you.
Your choice is who you chose to be;
and if your causin to harm, then your alright with me.
If you dont like my fire, then dont come around, cause I'm gona burn one down.
Yes i'm gonna burn one, down.
Herb the gift, from the Earth,
and what's from the earth is of the greatest worth.
So before u knock it, try it first.
and you'll see it's a blessing and it's not a curse.
If you dont like my fire, then dont come around,
cause i'm gonna burn one down.
Yes i'm gonna burn one.
oh yeah

this song just makes me want to dance.
Beautiful!
cool!!!!
"and if your causin to harm, then your alright with me."....that part of the lyric is wrong its' "and if your causin no harm, then your alright with me."...but this is a wicked song lol
this is the best song. i hate all those anti pot people. "its going to ruin ur life" bs its all bs. weed is a gift from the earth embrace it while we can so make ur own choices while u live and live how you want to, we only have so long before we all die so dont keep grudges. pass the peace :)

love this song ... pretty nice message in it , you can't just read the lyrics and think yeah it's about weed , there is a deeper sense of it "if you don't like my fire , then don't come around `think about it
This song is amazing
i also think it is "burn the gift from the earth" not "herb the gift, from the earth"
my brother smokes, and i'd always nag him for it,
he made me listen to this,
i wont nag him any more
a word from eugene oregon. this is an anthem to all who live freely and love life. you must embrace the earth and us hippies know how too. =]. listen to the song and let your soul flow...
smoke. inhale. breathe.
thank you ben harper. your a true spirit.
Great song, but the deal-breaker with these evil lyrics sites is that the transcriptions are SHIT. If I 'share a song' I have to edit the fucker monumentally. Hope I'm not "causin' to harm" here, but God are people STUPID. God Bless Ben all the same.
An amazing song, lyrically this song has so much meaning. specifically "Herb the gift, from the Earth, and what's from the earth is of the greatest worth.
So before u knock it, try it first.
and you'll see it's a blessing and it's not a curse" is by far one of the best written lyrics explaining exactly what marijuiana is and how it can help so many people throught out the entire world.
best smokin song
God Gave Ganja
this song celebrates that fact
<3333 thank you Lord
tis a blessing
a spiritual portal for the
fdsfs
well, i donīt smoke. But i respect people who does.
I love this song. Itīs great and itīs not just about the weed
Peace
Great song. Makes me feel warm inside
it's not so much about weed, just acceptance
It's causin' NO harm
ans herb the gift is correct, i believe
Me and my friend listen to this song every day!
We listen to it everytime get baked and we cant help but smile.
Thank you Mr Harper.......we are now trippers like you.
it doesnt harm you physically.. it comes from the ground.. its really not a bad thing.. its your choice so dont annoy the people who smoke just dont be around it
Please note, it's "causing no harm."
oh i like very much
"If you're causin no harm", not "If your causin no harm".
this song sounds like a great life style cause im gonna burn one down
if it's from the earth it most deff. is not a curse i just wish more people could understad that. in stead of judging people who smoke because weed has a waqy deeper meaning then something you smoke. it shoudl be legal. i think ciggarettes should be the thing that is illegal. and i strongly belive that. evan tho i also smoke ciggs.
You can talk about deeper meanings all you want, but "Herb the gift from the earth" is pretty damn specific. There's not a lot of wiggle room, there.
To me the song is more about finding friends and companions who you are comfortable with and comfortable with you and the choices you decide to make in life. not just about having a session. Great song ^_^
great to jam on guitar and awsome lyrics. burn and jam with ben
//(>_<)\
goodness,
this song is beautiful and wonderful and so many things.
thank you ben harper, thank you.
this song puts me in the greatest place in the world, ben harper uou truly are amazing, thank you :)
fantastic song.
truly beautiful.
i would just like to say hi to everyone,, HI
This song is the best, Whenever im high i just listen to this and its so nice
excellent
great song! I wish everyone applied this to their lives, things would be so much easier for people to live in peace with each other.
God bless
i would like to burn one downnn
I don't smoke, but this song is beautiful. "If you don't like my fire, then don't come around". It has some really good meaning within the song.
this song is nice with it
one love, one heart, lets get together and feel alright. from bob to ben the meaning is peace and love.
i would also like to burn one
Note, my friend, that it's "if you're causin' NO harm, you're alright by me", not "if you're causin TO harm..."
Thanks.
i am burnin one down!!
one love!!
i love this song so much! people shouldn't nag on you for what you choose to do it's your life! "i'm gonna choose what i choose to do, and if i'm causin no harm, it shouldn't bother you", weed is a gift from god. it's natural if he didn't want us to smoke it he wouldn't have put it on the earth!
hahaa.this just gives a bunch of potheads an exuse to defend smoking...yeah its alright if you do it, but when you let it take you over, which many people do...you wind up behind the counter at Wendy's...don't act like all smoking pot is fine just because someone made a good song about it
I agree that this song is becoming something of an anthem for cannibis lovers, but just look at all these posts...if people were this motivated to actually go and do something about these ridiculous cannibis laws, then it would have been legal already. Let's get active people! NOW is the time!
Join and support NORML and perhaps one day we can all burn one down in public without shame or consequence. Beautiful song, deep message.
70% of vermonter's smoke and interestingly enough, there aren't alot of wendy's around here OR people who work in them! I wonder why Vermont is such a happy peaceful place... hmm... could it be the weed?? ;p
wow ya'll are idiots. "its from the earth, it must be good" thats the dumbest thing i ever heard. go smoke some poison oak-its natural, its a gift from god, so take it and enjoy it. bunch of lazy do-nothing fags.
I Burn One XXL Down every morning, the best way to start my day.
FUCK all the ignorant fuckboys who keep nagging the herb. its the most beautiful thing in the world and fyi people who smoke aren't lazy do nothing fags, i do plenty in my day even when i'm not burning one. fuck you dude, go smoke a blunt. it'll make you not so uptight and a prude Dick.

>>hahaa.this just gives a bunch of potheads an exuse to defend smoking
We don't need an excuse to defend smoking. Personally, I don't care how another person feels about me smoking. It's my decision to do so and others should respect that. If my neighbor can kill brain cells with cheap light beer, allow me to smoke this delicious bud. A victimless crime is an oxymoron.
whats from the earth is of the greatest worth
Such a good song, infact im burning one down right now=)
Peace to all xx
Bro, your speak my language
wish i could burn one down right now.
celebrate 4/20.
this is the SICKEST song!!!! (to make this more interesting I'm really HIGH =)
I don't smoke, but this song puts me in the most relaxing mood, it is so awesome. i'm a surfer so it is just awesome
that song really makes me burn one down!!!
I'm going to have to agree with the 98% of people who actually do enjoy this song for what it is. This song is definitely about peace and acceptance. If the "ignorant fuckboy", as someone has brilliantly named him, can't realize that then fuck off. If you don't like it, then take your negative bull shit elsewhere. Actually, what you really need to do is open up you're mind a little and fully understand what Ben Harper is trying to say here... Anyways, AMAZING SONG. Absolutely genius. Something I can live my life by.
fuck the police
and...Im bout to burn one down!!!
Kudos much love and peace, and poison oak isn't bad hossfly
this song really makes me wanna smoke... and it definately is "no harm", but the "herb"-line is right.
nice song
To the people who are hating on marijuana.. If you don't like to smoke, what are you doing on this page?
Spend less time hating, more time on things ya like to do :)
This song is about acceptance. Religion, beliefs, different points of view.. they cause conflict in our nation, and world wide, because people cannot accept those who are different.
You don't have to smoke pot. You don't have to worship a certain religion or believe things you don't want to. You can stay true to you, without disrupting the peace.
We all know this song isnt about weed :-p
Im a Christian. Jesus loves everyone. John 3:16. I love this song. If you are looking to become a part of Gods kingdom just simply pray 'dear Jesus i know i am a sinner and i reciece you as my savior right now, please come and live within me and make me a child of God
What the fuck man ? This song makes you dance ? ... i think you didn't understood the message
This song makes me wanna SMOKE ... A LOT :X
the lyrics at the top are correct, and so what if there's some typos. it's still one of the greatest songs ever. ah, i love this song with a passion. it's beautiful. (:
senior quote<3
totally dig this song-listen to it all the time burning one down as we speak reeeeeeefer <3 Emancipate yourself from mental slavery brothers!

love this song ... pretty nice message in it , you can't just read the lyrics and think yeah it's about weed , there is a deeper sense of it "if you don't like my fire , then don't come around `think about it
.......................
Ok, I thought about it, you are retarded.
Obviously it is about weed, I dont think he left it open to interpretation this time.
Get a clue.
@ Watkins: it seems to have ruined "you are" ability to learn grammar and spelling.
P.S. you're = you are
your = belonging to you
very nice song, but i think there are as many said some mistakes in the words..i think it says also "pass it over" not "pass is over"..
kudos ben harper.
burn one down.
excuse me mr.
she's only happy in the sun
simply beautiful.
live strong
rock on..
smoke on.
pass the peace&share the love.
Y do those of u who so vehemently bash weed come on this page simply to continue ur thotless tirade against a plant illegal because man decided so many years ago it was bad.. doesn't make sense to me. It seems lik u being such a diligent hardworking antistoner could find a better way to use your time id love to smoke you out one day and help you find some perspective my man
fucking great song, love smokin a blunt when im listening to this song
RIP SEAN RENN!
we sang this all summer buddy.
i still cant stop tearing up about
what happen to you.
Much love. One love.
Thank you bro.
This is for the haters of weed.. I hope they just shut the fuck up..
this the dopiest song i ever heard ....kudos to mr harper ...simple lyrics and even simpler music ..and even then the song hits a note in u ....neother sng tht comes near to this is " because i got high" by afroman ...
