The video of "Too Late to Apologize: A Declaration" is a must experience that includes the cast depicting the Founding Fathers performing the song as they arrive at the decision that resulted in the Declaration of Independence . . . And every student and young adult should really like it ... my 15 year old grandson did . . . It is a very inspiring music video. David G. Bancroft, USA Patriotism! founder (July 4, 2010)

Lyrics by Emilia Grant (adapted from the original by OneRepublic)
Halfway across the globe And we're standing on new ground Screaming 'cross the waves You can't hear a sound There's no fair trials, no trade, no liberties No tea We've colonized America; we won't stand for tyranny, Oh king
And it's too late to apologize It's too late I said it's too late to apologize It's too late
We've paid your foolish tax, read the acts And they just won't do We want to make it clear, we believe this much is true All men were created with certain
Unalienable rights Among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit Of happiness
And it's too late to apologize It's too late I said It's too late to apologize It's too late
It's too late to apologize It's too late I said it's too late apologize It's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah It's too late I said it's too late to apologize, yeah
Halfway across the globe And we're standing on new ground
