Blessed to be a witness. A song from "Diamonds on the inside". Corcovado is a mountain in Brazil with an immense statue of Christ the Redeemer on top that overlooks Rio de Janeiro. Here is a picture of Corcovado : Many have described this song as one of the most beautiful in the entire Ben Harper catalog, and it certainly shines as one of the great songs on the album. The lyrics are nothing short of incredible, and the percussion is outstanding, as this song seems to add another, indescribable element. The power of the song reminds you of his amazing rendition of the Maya Angelou poem And Still Ill Rise off of Welcome to the Cruel World, even though it sounds nothing like it. There is a tribal or natural element to this piece of music that gives it a power that few songs have. Temporary work by Matt : verse: chorus:
Lyrics : Corcovado parted the
sky Glory behold all my
eyes I am blessed to be a witness Some have flown away Gather around for today I am blessed to be a witness So much sorrow and
pain Only by the grace of
God I am blessed to be
a witness |
