[00:20.06]	Every generation
[00:24.50]	Blames the one before
[00:26.24]
[00:29.37]	And all of their frustrations
[00:31.36]
[00:34.06]	Come beating on your door
[00:36.11]
[00:39.13]	I know that I'm a prisoner
[00:41.38]	To all my Father held so dear
[00:43.94]	I know that I'm a hostage
[00:45.75]	To all his hopes and fears
[00:48.81]	I just wish I could have told him
[00:51.44]	In the living years
[00:54.49]
[00:59.00]	Crumpled bits of paper
[01:00.49]
[01:03.38]	Filled with imperfect thoughts
[01:05.11]
[01:08.62]	Stilted conversations
[01:09.92]
[01:13.06]	I'm afraid that's all we've got
[01:15.86]
[01:18.50]	You say you just don't see it
[01:21.06]	He says it's perfect sense
[01:22.80]
[01:23.38]	You just can't get agreement
[01:25.68]	In this present tense
[01:27.18]
[01:27.75]	We all talk a different language
[01:29.86]
[01:30.62]	Talkin' in defense
[01:32.68]
[01:39.63]	Say it loud say it clear
[01:46.00]
[01:46.76]	（You can listen） as well as you hear
[01:53.25]
[01:56.82]	It's too late when we die
[02:05.81]
[02:06.32]	（To admit） we don't see eye to eye
[02:12.37]
[02:16.70]	So we open up a quarrel
[02:18.93]
[02:21.45]	Between the present and the past
[02:23.62]
[02:26.13]	We only sacrifice the future
[02:28.49]
[02:31.51]	It's the bitterness that lasts
[02:33.62]
[02:36.82]	So don't yield to the fortunes
[02:39.20]	You sometimes see as fate
[02:41.51]	It may have a new perspective
[02:43.56]
[02:44.26]	On a different date
[02:45.68]
[02:46.26]	And if you don't give up
[02:47.95]	And don't give in
[02:49.20]	You may just be O K
[02:51.81]
[02:54.43]	Say it loud say it clear
[03:04.80]
[03:05.93]	（You can listen） as well as you hear
[03:11.73]
[03:14.62]	Because it's too late when we die
[03:23.86]
[03:24.69]	（To admit） we don't see eye to eye
[03:31.30]
[03:35.75]	I wasn't there that morning
[03:37.55]
[03:40.06]	When my Father passed away
[03:42.12]
[03:45.38]	I didn't get to tell him
[03:47.42]
[03:49.81]	All the things I had to say
[03:52.49]
[03:55.06]	I think I caught his spirit
[03:57.56]	Later that same year
[03:60.00]	I'm sure I heard his echo
[04:02.75]	In my baby's new born tears
[04:04.75]	I just wish I could have told him
[04:07.62]	In the living years
[04:12.82]	So say it say it say it loud
[04:15.44]
[04:21.13]	Say it clear
[04:22.68]
[04:23.51]	（You can listen） as well as you hear
[04:30.18]
[04:33.51]	It's too late when we die
[04:42.55]
[04:43.38]	To admit we don't see eye to eye
[04:49.74]
[04:53.25]	（Say it loud）Say it loud say it clear
[05:00.74]
[05:02.69]	（You can listen） as well as you hear
[05:08.93]
[05:12.04]	Because it's too late when we die
[05:18.97]
