[00:00.00]	作曲 : Mike Rutherford/B.A. Robertson
[00:29.70]	Every generation
[00:34.53]	Blames the one before
[00:39.36]	And all of their frustrations
[00:44.01]	Come beating on your door
[00:49.14]	I know that i'm a prisoner
[00:50.85]	To all my father held so dear
[00:54.03]	I know that i'm a hostage
[00:56.49]	To all his hopes and fears
[00:58.59]	I just wish i could have told him in the living years
[01:08.88]	Crumpled bits of paper
[01:13.38]	Filled with imperfect thought
[01:18.63]	Stilted conversations
[01:23.01]	I'm afraid that's all we've got
[01:28.47]	You say you just don't see it
[01:30.72]	He says it's perfect sense
[01:33.12]	You just can't get agreement
[01:35.73]	In this present tense
[01:37.68]	We all talk a different language
[01:40.77]	Talking in defence
[01:46.74]	Say it loud, say it clear
[01:59.88]	You can listen as well as you hear
[02:09.33]	It's too late when we die
[02:15.12]	To admit we don't see eye to eye
[02:26.58]	So we open up a quarrel
[02:31.47]	Between the present and the past
[02:36.12]	We only sacrifice the future
[02:41.91]	It's the bitterness that lasts
[02:46.68]	So don't yield to the fortunes
[02:49.20]	You sometimes see as fate
[02:51.36]	It may have a new perspective
[02:54.30]	On a different day
[02:56.31]	And if you don't give up, and don't give in
[02:58.41]	You may just be o.k.
[02:58.89]	Say it loud, say it clear
[03:24.57]	You can listen as well as you hear
[03:25.23]	It's too late when we die
[03:33.33]	To admit we don't see eye to eye
[03:45.66]	I wasn't there that morning
[03:50.01]	When my father passed away
[03:55.50]	I didn't　get to tell him
[03:59.94]	All the things i had to say
[04:05.43]	I think i caught his spirit
[04:07.77]	Later that same year
[04:10.17]	I'm sure i heard his echo
[04:12.15]	In my baby's new born tears
[04:14.73]	I just wish i could have told him in the living years
[04:24.45]	Say it loud, say it clear
[04:35.28]	You can listen as well as you hear
[04:46.20]	It's too late when we die
[04:51.69]	To admit we don't see eye to eye
