It’s not late yet, all you need is to keep it up.
Seen this life we live in, all our struggles, all our wishes
we would die without patience
We’re left apart, looking terrible to others but that wasn’t real
Even though my wallet was almost empty
my brain weighed many tons
Once you’re struggling with trials, be strong
stand tall as the people of Israel resisted the pharaoh.
Chorus Don’t be sad, your future is bright, stay hopeful, don’t surrender, it’s never too late.
Let me keep telling them, maybe some will understand.
Let’s hope that it won’t be useless and meaningless
It would be very disappointing but it’s also normal
As said, wealthy people will get wealthier, what about the less fortunate?
Nothing is impossible for a willing heart; it’s never late as long as you’re still alive.
My friend, how can they tell me to grow for business while I am still craving? I have to eat enough first
It will not always be like this, you’ve gotten a vision, keep it up cause even someone else’s mother can get a son.
Chorus
Say it or not, do it or not, the problem is that people never know that we can’t all be the same
today is me, tomorrow is you
Leave them, don’t worry, it’s never late
We are as good as team players in a dressing room
They will know that we were aware.
I bring all my problems, this World is challenging me
My mind gets up and I dream to live in another kingdom
angels playing instruments, me rapping in
and the Almighty creator replying:”I know all your problems”
I will be there even before he calls me. Just wait patiently, it’s never late.
Chorus
