Never Too Late Lyrics


Don't fear your best friends,
Because a best friend would never try to do you wrong.
And don't fear your worst friends,
Because a worst friend is just a best friend that's done you wrong.
And don't fear the night time,
Because the monsters know you're divine.
And don't fear the sunshine,
Because everything is better in the summertime.But it's never too late to start the day over,
It's never to late to pick up the phone.
You know it's never too late to lay your head down on my shoulders,
It's never too late just come on home.Don't fear the water,
Because you can swim inside you within your skin.
And don't fear your father,
Because a father's just a boy without a friend.
And don't fear to walk slow,
Don't be a horse race, be a marathon.
And don't fear the long road,
Because on the long road you got a long time to sing a simple song.But it's never too late to start the day over,

It's never too late to pick up the phone.
You know it's never too late to lay your head down on my shoulders,
It's never too late just come on home.Don't fear your teachers,
Because if you listen you can hear music in a school bell.
And don't fear your preacher,
If you can't find heaven in a prison cell.
And don't fear your own self,
Paying money to justify your worth.
And don't fear your family,
Because you chose them along time before your birth.But it's never too late to start the day over,
It's never too late to pick up the phone.
You know it's never too late to lay your head down on my shoulders,
It's never too late just come on home.Hold to your children, hold to your children, hold to your children, let them know.

Michael Franti is a gifted and much-heralded spoken word artist and political activist from San Francisco, CA. As leader of the politically and socially-charged group Spearhead, Franti is at the forefront of hip-hop's renaissance, expanding the music's boundaries as he draws on funk and soul-driven beats. Through his music and poetry, Franti tackles a range of issues--the criminal justice system, corporatization of our daily lives, AIDS, gay rights, homelessness, the death penalty, drug addiction and suicide.

His project Spearhead produced the critically acclaimed Home in 1990. The album contained his biggest single, "Hole in the Bucket," a thoughtful lament on the plight of the homeless, and "Positive," which addressed the growing AIDS epidemic. The album boasted adept funk samplings, sinuous guitar vamps, and soulful, melodic tracks about family and social injustice. 1997's Chocolate Supa Highway was not as pop-friendly as Home, but neither did its themes of kidnappings and police brutality lend themselves to such overt accessibility. Its mixture of harsher musical styles -- techno, rock, and funk -- was a step forward for Franti as his world view broadened and deepened. In 2001, Franti released Stay Human. In it he expresses his anger at the system, his advocacy of love, and his belief in freedom through individuality and self-expression through a set of songs that revolve around a fictitious death penalty case. In it, his embrace of the genres that inspired him is achieved with eloquence.

Earlier projects of Franti include The Beatnigs and The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy, which had more of an experimental/industrial sound, but addressed many of the same social/political issues.

As a celebration of the Election of Barack Obama Franti recorded the Obama Song, offered as a free track on downloaded at their offical website, www.michaelfranti.com/.
