Never too Late
copyright Amae Love 2016 all rights resereved

coulda shoudla woulda, never did help me
i've cried i've denied but now i'm just tryin' to get healthy
my mind drive me crazy thinkin' of all that i could've done
what could have been waiting back when i was eighteen or twenty one

my voice it breaks in my throat i won't sing a note 
till i give up my hold on my fear and surrender
i die to my lies i run to the cries from my soul to remember 
that it's now or never..
but it's never too late,
 to make a break
to shake that the weight off and fly
so i do it for love
i do it for all that is sacred to me
cuz it's never too late
to change your fate
to give your dreams a new life
and it's never too late
to late to try

this life had seemed to through my fingers like grains of sand
got me lost in a dream till i finally woke up to who i am
there's so many talented people who never do get their shot
so there's no way that i'm gonna to give up till i give it all i've got

opportunities passed, that may never come back
did i step off my path, and get lost in confusion?
there's no way to know, now its time to let go,
just get on with the show and burn down the illusion

that it's ever too late to make a break
to shake that weight off and fly
so i do it for love
i do it for all that is sacred to me
cuz it's never too late
to change your fate
to give your dreams a new life
never too late
to late to try

well i'm tired of excuses, i've got only myself to blame
the truth is so elusive its useless, losing at my own game
still i get frustrated sometimes when i get caught up in my mind
i was born to be creative all i gotta do is let in the light 
and shine and shine and shine.....
and SHINE!
cuz it's never too, never too, never too late

never too late to make a break
to shake that weight off and fly
so just do it for love
do it for all that is sacred to you
cuz it's never too late
to change your fate
to give your dreams a new life
never too late
to late to FLY!!
oh no no no.....

This is remix is an ode to all those hurt by the prison industrial system of the United States, and is dedicated towards transforming the "eye for an eye" retributive justice model towards a restorative justice model - one that strengthens, rather than fractures, communities. 

This remix is based off of two recordings: Rising Appalachia's "Spirit's Cradle" and a reading by the great, late poet Etheridge Knight. "Apology for Apostasy" was one of many poems that Knight wrote while incarcerated, which were originally published in the collection "Poems from Prison." His poems bear witness to the resiliency of the creative spirit. Leah Song, of Rising Appalachia, has been a long time advocate of criminal justice reform and is involved in projects that bring yoga, song and mindfulness into prisons.
