IT'S NOT TOO LATE

THIS SIMPLE SONG WAS WRITTEN MANY YEARS AGO BY A TEENAGER
WHO FIRMLY BELIEVED THAT WE ALL CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE,
THAT IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO TURN BACK THE CLOCK. MAYBE A
NAIVE VIEW, BUT IT'S EXACTLY THAT KIND OF NAIVETY YOU NEED IF
YOU REALLY WANT TO CHANGE SOMETHING IN THIS WORLD. I AM
NOT THAT TEENAGER ANYMORE, BUT SOMETIMES I WISH I WAS.

I WENT WALKIN' DOWN THE ROAD
I WENT WALKIN' DOWN THE ROAD
THE SUN WAS SHININ'
IT LOOKED LIKE GOLD
THE SUN, IT LOOKED LIKE GOLD

I WENT WALKIN' THROUGH THE WOOD
I WENT WALKIN' THROUGH THE WOOD
THE TREES WORE GREEN
AND THEY SMELLED SO GOOD
THE TREES, THEY SMELLED SO GOOD

I SAT DOWN UNDER A TREE
I SAT DOWN UNDER A TREE
SOME BIRDS WERE SINGIN' HIGH OVER ME
SOME BIRDS WERE SINGIN' OVER ME

AS LONG AS I CAN HEAR JUST ONE BIRD SING
AS LONG AS I CAN IT'S NOT TOO LATE
AS LONG AS I CAN HEAR JUST ONE BIRD SING
AS LONG AS I CAN IT'S NOT TOO LATE
