Story Behind The Song

Better Late Than Never was written to be part of an album for a Fox DVD based on a book by Dr. Henry Cloud called The Secret Things of God, published by Simon and Shuster who published a popular book called The Secret. The song was written to have a Christian spin to it much like Dr. Cloud's book. It is about starting all over again and having the faith that it's never too late to find your dreams.

Lyrics

Better Late Than Never

If you've been told "There's a light
At the end of the tunnel" it's true
Even in the darkest hour
Love will guide you through
If you're still lost and can't see
The forest for the trees
Turn around, and follow the path
The one that sets you free

'Cause in His eyes
He wants you to believe
In HIs eyes, He wants you to see
It's never too late, to find your way
It's never too late, no matter what they say
God can change your fate today, forever
'Cause in His eyes
It's better late than never

Were there promises unkept?
Or compliments put away?
Bring them back, from out of the past
It's a brand new day
Were " I love you's unspoken?
Or "I'm sorry's left unsaid?
Tell somebody who you love
How you feel instead

'Cause in His eyes
He wants you to believe
In HIs eyes, He wants you to see
It's never too late, to say it outright
It's never too late, no matter who was right
God can change your fate tonight, forever
'Cause in His eyes
It's better late than never

So never say never
'Cause it's never too late
To say a prayer, and clean the slate
Send it straight to the Lord
In Heaven above...
'Cause it's never too late, to find Love

Well, once my heart was breaking
And aching inside
Someone said "When one door shuts
A window opens wide"
Well, I kept Hope in a pocket
And dreams tucked in a drawer
Just today, I dusted them off
What was I waitin' for?

'Cause in His eyes
He wants me to believe
In His eyes, He wants me to see
It's never too late, to start again
It's never too late, no matter where I've been
God can change my fate amen, forever
'Cause in His eyes
It's better late than never

So never say never
'Cause it's never too late
To say a prayer, and clean the slate
Send it straight to the Lord
In Heaven above...
'Cause it's never too late, to find Love

No, it's never too late, to knock on His door
It's never too late, no matter what it's for
God can change your fate and more, forever
'Cause in HIs eyes
It's better late than never
'Cause in His eyes
It's better late than never
It's better late
Better late than never
