never yet too late

where life is new or not so badly made
we want to shine and and indicate our grace
the thing to do is stay in the parade

all of the earth is underneath a shade
but still there's light in its appropriate place
where life is new or not so badly made

there's silence in the once so lively glade
of day's dominion there's no single trace
the thing to do is stay in the parade

at times we wish that we were not so staid
but cannot simply our long past erase
where life is new or not so badly made

another hopeful one will follow in our trade
eager to get in front and set the pace
the thing to do is stay in the parade

so let the glowing music stay or fade
glory appears in every normal face
where life is new or not so badly made
the thing to do is stay in the parade
