| [00:29.72] |
Every generation |
| [00:34.54] |
Blames the one before |
| [00:39.46] |
And all of their frustrations |
| [00:44.06] |
Come beating on your door |
| [00:47.53] |
|
| [00:49.07] |
I know that I'm a prisoner |
| [00:51.01] |
To all my Father held so dear |
| [00:53.97] |
I know that I'm a hostage |
| [00:55.93] |
To all his hopes and fears |
| [00:58.52] |
I just wish I could have told him in the living years |
| [01:05.79] |
|
| [01:08.31] |
Crumpled bits of paper |
| [01:13.29] |
Filled with imperfect thoughts |
| [01:18.46] |
Stilted conversations |
| [01:22.95] |
I'm afraid that's all we've got |
| [01:26.74] |
|
| [01:28.26] |
You say you just don't see it |
| [01:30.40] |
He says it's perfect sense |
| [01:32.93] |
You just can't get agreement |
| [01:35.43] |
In this present tense |
| [01:37.71] |
We all talk a different language |
| [01:40.70] |
Talkin' in defense |
| [01:44.95] |
|
| [01:46.66] |
Say it loud, say it clear |
| [01:56.39] |
You can listen as well as you hear |
| [02:06.09] |
It's too late when we die |
| [02:16.07] |
To admit we don't see eye to eye |
| [02:25.30] |
|
| [02:26.69] |
So we open up a quarrel |
| [02:31.55] |
Between the present and the past |
| [02:36.16] |
We only sacrifice the future |
| [02:41.37] |
It's the bitterness that lasts |
| [02:45.26] |
|
| [02:46.68] |
So Don't yield to the fortunes |
| [02:49.18] |
You sometimes see as fate |
| [02:51.27] |
It may have a new perspective |
| [02:54.08] |
On a different date |
| [02:56.08] |
And if you don't give up, and don't give in |
| [02:58.99] |
You may just be O.K. |
| [03:03.44] |
|
| [03:05.40] |
Say it loud, say it clear |
| [03:14.79] |
You can listen as well as you hear |
| [03:24.78] |
It's too late when we die |
| [03:34.46] |
To admit we don't see eye to eye |
| [03:43.16] |
|
| [03:45.63] |
I wasn't there that morning |
| [03:50.04] |
When my Father passed away |
| [03:55.47] |
I didn't get to tell him |
| [03:59.87] |
All the things I had to say |
| [04:04.10] |
|
| [04:05.38] |
I think I caught his spirit |
| [04:07.79] |
Later that same year |
| [04:10.01] |
I'm sure I heard his echo |
| [04:12.32] |
In my baby's new born tears |
| [04:14.67] |
I just wish I could have told him in the living years |
| [04:22.50] |
|
| [04:23.72] |
Say it loud, say it clear |
| [04:33.35] |
You can listen as well as you hear |
| [04:43.14] |
It's too late when we die |
| [04:52.93] |
To admit we don't see eye to eye |
| [05:00.95] |
|
| [05:02.83] |
Say it loud, say it clear |
| [05:12.55] |
Say it loud |
| [05:14.65] |
Don't give up |
| [05:16.86] |
Don't give in |
| [05:18.24] |
And don't know what you can do next |
| [05:21.40] |
