Sleep held me, in it's grip
Little did I know I was fixin' to take a trip
When he first appeared,
Had a hood on his head
I couldn't see his face,
But in the spirit I was led
Then he told me - this is what he said

It's a little late now baby
It's a little late for the wailin' wall
It's a little late now baby
It's a little late for the wailin' wall

We were standin' on a mountain, hand in hand
Gazin' down - on the promised land
I saw old jerusalem, it was gonna fall
Nebuchadnezzar - was the king of it all

It's a little late now baby
It's a little late for the wailin' wall
It's a little late now baby
It's a little late for the wailin' wall

As we stood there, centuries passed us by
I saw bloodshed & gov'ts fall
In the twinklin' of an eye
Then I saw a crack appear
In the wailin' wall
I asked - "what's happening here? "
Then he told it all

It's a little late now baby
It's a little late for the wailin' wall
It's a little late now baby
It's a little late for the wailin' wall

Yeah, I saw smoke, I saw gas
He looked me right in the eye
Said "this too shall pass. "
"gonna last 5 days, evil spirit's givin' birth. "
"there's a crack in the wailin' wall
Hell's come to earth. "

It's a little late now baby
It's a little late for the wailin' wall
It's a little late now baby
It's a little late for the wailin' wall

Some people believe
That Jesus christ is not god's son
They are deceived, by the lies of the evil one
All that is sacred, to them - soon will fall
Their prayers are all wasted
It's the end of the wailin' wall

It's a little late now baby
It's a little late for the wailin' wall
It's a little late now baby
It's a little late for the wailin' wall

It's a little late now baby
It's a little late
