[Verse]
See the stop-light turning red
Don't you listen to what it's said
All the things you try to hide
They keep you running hard inside.Oh, you got to leave this town before it's[?]
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late
Too late to make the change
Oh, yes, my friend, you're fading fast, if you stay here you won't last
Before your time has run astray, you've got to try to get away
Oh, you got to leave this place before it's[?]
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late
Too late to make the change
Too late, too late to make the change
Too late to make the change
Yes, it's time to make the change, yes, it's time to rearrange
So, my friend, I join the fight for the things you know are right
Oh, you got to leave this town before it's[?]
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late
Too late to make the change
Too late, too late to make the change[x2]
Too late to make the change
Too late, before it's too late

Journey

Journey is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred while fronted by vocalist Steve Perry, from 1978 until the group’s disbandment in 1987. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history amongst songs not released in the 21st century. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band’s eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, “Open Arms”. Its 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band’s appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion with Perry in the mid-1990s and later regrouped with a series of lead singers.
