Never Too Late
Michael & Spearhead Franti Lyrics

Don't fear your best friends,

Because a best friend would never try to do you wrong.
This line emphasizes the trust factor and deep understanding that comes with a true friendship that people don't need to be afraid of their closest friends.

And don't fear your father,
This line signifies that people don't need to fear their father, who is just another human without sufficient guidance, support or friendship.

And don't fear to walk slow,
