Is It Too Late?

Oh yes oh yes

Hear my thoughts

Right now right now right now right now

There used to be a time

When a man could say

I love my fellow man

With all his ways

But I'm beginning to wonder

I'm beginning to wonder

Somehow somehow

It makes me wonder

Is it too late

I wonder I wonder

I I really wonder

There used to be a time

When you could touch a child

With love and kindness

Surely surely surely surely

Surely you would get a smile

I'm beginning to wonder

Deep down deep down in my heart

It makes me wonder

Is it too late

I wonder I wonder

I I really really wonder

Ya know

When I stop and

Looking at the world today

Every everybody is running and laughing

And talking about war and dropping bombs

And who's the strongest

And who's the greatest

And it just make me tremble

I I remember I remember when when man

All over the earth

Was so full of love and understanding

And patients for one another

The earth was a marvelous place to live

A wonderful place

If you were hungry you you wouldn't have to worry boy

You could you could just

Look right next to you

And you were guaranteed if a brother had a had a piece of bread

Or anything he was so willing to share

(Excuse me)

But today everybody is just

Everything is in an uproar

I I watched once

I watch I watch once in in the streets of New York

An old man he must have been

I don't know seventy years or more

He had to been in that age his hair was all white

He fell on the side walk ya know

And people gathered around

Everybody wanna peep and see and

Someone in the crowd shouted

Look at the old man he is drunk ha ha

Not not one person thought

Or gave one single thought

To maybe maybe the old man was sick

Oh and sick he was

Sick he was

He laid there he laid there

He died a horrible death

Not one man or not one woman

Would reach to give one single hand

Everybody just stood around

When the ambulance came and pronounced him dead I heard a lady in the back ground say

Well that's life

That's life

Yeah that's life

But what kind of a life

I sometimes sometimes I I have to ask myself

What what what day is this

What what time is this

Where where am I

Where where

You know I I wish I wish there was some way

That that we could pass a box

Or maybe a hat or anything

Just passing around every year maybe

And collect a sixteen ounce of love

Love from every every human being on the earth

And at the end of the year boy we would have

Tons and tons and tons and tons

Just just to give away

Give away

I mean surely we must be tired now

We must be

We've got to be

I watched I watched a politician once

Standing up and made a speach for thousands of people

And and he ended his speach by saying

This is man's day this is a peak

This is the highest point man has ever gone to huh

If if that's so

We haven't gone very far

No no

With with all of man's great progress

With all of his his great deeds

That he puts in his books

How I mean who's supposed to be the the civilised ones

We're supposed to be the pace setters for the earth

Well then somebody tell me how

Through all of our progress

We managed to let the little thing that really counts step aside

To get totally lost in the shuffle

And that's love for our fellow man

When when when when I I see things like this

I have to wonder I have to sit and wonder

Because if this if this is mans peak

Then what have we done

What on earth are we doing

But there used to be a time

When a man could say I love my fellow man

For all his ways

But I'm beginning to wonder somehow somehow

Somehow it makes me wonder

Is it to late

I wonder I wonder

I really I really I really really wonder
