| [00:30.00] |
Every generation |
| [00:34.75] |
Blames the one before |
| [00:39.50] |
And all of their frustrations |
| [00:44.18] |
Come beating on your door |
| [00:49.31] |
I know that I'm a prisoner |
| [00:51.31] |
To all my Father held so dear |
| [00:54.12] |
I know that I'm a hostage |
| [00:56.56] |
To all his hopes and fears |
| [00:58.75] |
I just wish I could have told him in the living years |
| [01:09.18] |
Crumpled bits of paper |
| [01:13.99] |
Filled with imperfect thought |
| [01:19.24] |
Stilted conversations |
| [01:23.31] |
I'm afraid that's all we've got |
| [01:28.37] |
You say you just don't see it |
| [01:30.81] |
He says it's perfect sense |
| [01:33.37] |
You just can't get agreement |
| [01:35.93] |
In this present tense |
| [01:37.93] |
We all talk a different language |
| [01:40.93] |
Talking in defence |
| [01:47.11] |
|
| [01:49.39] |
Say it loud say it clear |
| [01:57.76] |
You can listen as well as you hear |
| [02:06.76] |
It's too late when we die |
| [02:16.51] |
To admit we don't see eye to eye |
| [02:27.02] |
So we open up a quarrel |
| [02:31.83] |
Between the present and the past |
| [02:36.33] |
We only sacrifice the future |
| [02:41.64] |
It's the bitterness that lasts |
| [02:46.97] |
So Don't yield to the fortunes |
| [02:49.41] |
You sometimes see as fate |
| [02:51.53] |
It may have a new perspective |
| [02:54.41] |
On a different day |
| [02:56.66] |
And if you don't give up and don't give in |
| [02:59.41] |
You may just be OK |
| [03:04.10] |
Say it loud say it clear |
| [03:15.41] |
You can listen as well as you hear |
| [03:25.47] |
It's too late when we die |
| [03:34.97] |
To admit we don't see eye to eye |
| [03:46.10] |
I wasn't there that morning |
| [03:49.48] |
When my Father passed away |
| [03:55.60] |
I didn't get to tell him |
| [03:59.72] |
All the things I had to say |
| [04:05.41] |
I think I caught his spirit |
| [04:07.85] |
Later that same year |
| [04:10.04] |
I'm sure I heard his echo |
| [04:12.41] |
In my baby's new born tears |
| [04:14.72] |
I just wish I could have told him in the living years |
| [04:23.29] |
|
| [04:24.42] |
Say it loud say it clear |
| [04:33.92] |
You can listen as well as you hear |
| [04:43.36] |
It's too late when we die |
| [04:53.43] |
To admit we don't see eye to eye |
