with song performed by Chris Brown
(Music and video based on "Apologize"
by One Republic, featuring Timbaland, 2007)
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
