[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]
