Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With my friend to call my own I'll never be alone
And you my friend will see, you've got a friend in me
Ben, you're always running here and there
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
If you ever look behind and don't like what you find
There's something you should know, you've got a place to go
I used to say, "I", And "Me"
Now it's "Us", Now it's "We"

Ask me a question I'll tell you all I know
You ask for my advice
And then you take a different road
You traveled oh so far
Left everyone who cared far behind
Left us all behind
How could I have ever saved you
The only thing I'd ever done was cared
How could I have ever blamed you
You never promised that you would always be there
I'll never know what you were thinking on that night
You saw him on the road and took the angel for a ride
He gave you confidence as you yearned for your own praise
Then took your soul away
How could I have ever saved you
The only thing I'd ever done was cared
How could I have ever blamed you
You never promised that you would always be there
Take a different road
Take a chance to know
There's so much more than winning
Take a different way
Wait another day
Now it seems that it's too late and...
How could I have ever saved you
The only thing I'd ever done was cared
How could I have ever blamed you

Ben is a 1972 horror film about a young boy and his pet rat, Ben. The film is a sequel to the 1971 film Willard. The film is known for its sentimental theme song performed by Michael Jackson.
Contents |
A lonely boy named Danny Garrison befriends Ben, the rat leader of the swarm of trained/telepathic rats found in Willard. Ben becomes the boy's best friend, protecting him from bullying and keeping his spirits up in the face of a heart condition.
However, things gradually take a downward turn as Ben's swarm becomes violent, resulting in several deaths. Eventually, the police destroy the rat colony with flame throwers, but Ben survives and makes his way back to Danny. The film closes with Danny, tending to the injured Ben, determined not to lose his friend.
The film's title theme song of the same name is performed by Lee Montgomery in the film and by Michael Jackson over the end credits. Jackson's recording of the song became a #1 pop hit single. Later included on Jackson's album of the same name, "Ben" won a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song (it lost to "The Morning After" from The Poseidon Adventure).
The song is calm and mellow, which contrasts with the horror content of the film. A live recorded version was released on the 1981 album The Jacksons Live! and eventually appeared on Jackson's Number Ones album in 2003.
Crispin Glover re-recorded a version of the song for the soundtrack of the 2003 remake of Willard.
Ben received mixed to positive reviews, currently holding a 57% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.[1]
