WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN "It's not too late to be what you might have been"
One day several years ago I saw the above quote on a sign in front of a church and it made a big impact on me. I also thought, I have to use that in a song. Well, here it is! I used this line in one of my first song posts in this forum many years ago, but I felt it was time to give it another go. I realize that thought doesn't apply to everyone, but it certainly does apply to some of us! I was all over the map trying to settle on a style of music for the backing, but an exploration of styles in BIAB soon gave me some needed inspiration! To me it's sort of an R&B sound but you can correct me if it's another genre! My musical brethren, it's getting harder to try to do these right! Singing is much more difficult now, especially harmony parts, but I gave it my best effort! Thanks for the listen! TB

Hey you, you're looking cast down
If you want a change start where you are
They're talking 'bout you all around town
It's so sad they really don't know your heart
You're thanking God to see that a new day has begun
You're saying help me get things right for once
Before the day is done, before it is done
Oh if you could go back in time again
And take those chances that you missed
And finish what's undone
Though the wheels still turn
The pendulum it swings
Believe it's not too late for you now to be
To be what you might have been
Life's been a long road to where you are now
Time for change has surely come around
Pick up the pieces of your life on the floor
Then the darkness will fade
And hope will be restored
Somehow you feel you've missed the plan
Written for you
It's getting late and wonder now
What can you do, what can you do
Oh if you could go back in time again
To take those chances that you missed
And finish whats undone
Though the wheels still turn
The pendulum it swings
Believe it's not too late for you now to be
To be what you might have been
Don't turn away from whom
There's nothing you can hide
Leave you past far behind
And then the darkness
In your mind will fade away
Listen hear Him say
Oh if you could go back in time again
To take those chances that you missed
And finish whats undone
Though the wheels still turn
The pendulum it swings
Believe it's not too late for you now hear me
Oh you can't go back in time again
To take those chances that you missed
And finish whats undone
Though the wheels still turn
The pendulum it swings
Believe it's not too late for you now to be
To be what you might have been
