Story Behind The Song
I wrote the original musical idea and lyrics and sent the track to Keith Allen,(who added bass and backing vocals), and Terry Wigmore, (who added the main vocals and did the mixing)
The song was about not being too worried about 'time'..it's ok to be late sometimes. :)

Lyrics
BE LATE
It's better to be late in this world, than be early in the next,
You've got to take your time, you've got to slow down,
You've got to take your breath
Everybody's talking at the same time,
I can't hear what they're saying,
Everybody's rushing around, they've got to slow down
It's ok to be late,
it's ok to be late , be late
No one wants to be late, be late,
It's better to be safe in this world, than be sorry in the next
You've got to relax, don't worry about time
It'll get you in the end
Everybody's moving at the same time,
They can't see where they're going
Everybody's rushing around, they've got to slow down
Slow right down
It's ok to be late, be late,
It's ok to be late, be late
No one wants to be late, be late,
Time goes by so slowly, Time goes by so fast
Don't let time hold you back
(Don't be late) I got so much i wanna do
(Don't be late) 'aint got time to tie my shoes
(Don't be late) got no time too stop and stare
(Don't be late) at all those ladies over there
(Don't be late) got no time
(Don't be late) i don't wanna be late
(Don't be late) i don't wanna be late
