[00:09.75] Every generation
[00:14.36] Blames the one before
[00:18.93] And all of their frustrations
[00:23.41] Come beating at your door
[00:28.33] I know that I'm a prisoner to all my father held so dear
[00:32.67] I know that I'm a hostage
[00:34.98] To all his hopes and fears
[00:37.01] I just wish I could have told him
[00:40.70] In the living years
[00:45.74] (Say it loud) Say it loud
[00:50.37] (say it clear) Would you say it clear
[00:54.99] (You can listen) as well as you hear
[01:04.32] (It's too late) It's too late It's too late
[01:09.08] (when we die) It's too late when we die
[01:13.63] (To admit) we don't see eye to eye
[01:22.77] Oh Crumpled bits of paper
[01:28.10] Filled with imperfect thoughts
[01:33.52] Stilted conversations
[01:37.69] I'm afraid that's all we've got
[01:42.93] You say you just don't see it
[01:44.95] He says it's perfect sense
[01:47.28] You just can't find agreement
[01:49.69] In this present tense
[01:51.83] We all talk a different language
[01:55.90] Talkin' in defense
[02:00.37] (Say it loud) Say it loud
[02:04.92] (say it clear) Say it clear now
[02:09.68] (You can listen) You can listen as well as you hear
[02:18.94] (It's too late) It's too late now It's too late
[02:23.65] (when we die) oh when we die
[02:28.36] (To admit) we don't see eye to eye
[02:38.44] I wasn't there that morning
[02:43.16] When my father passed away
[02:47.84] I didn't get to tell him
[02:52.31] All the things I had to say
[02:57.14] I think I caught his spirit
[02:59.68] Later that same year
[03:01.77] I'm sure I heard his echo in my baby's new born tears
[03:06.17] I just wish I could have told him
[03:09.56] In the living years
[03:13.85] So say it say it say it loud
[03:16.09] (Say it loud Say it loud)
[03:19.55] (say it clear) Say it say it clear
[03:24.18] (You can listen) as well as you hear
[03:33.51] (It's too late) It's too late
[03:38.15] (when we die) It's too late when we die
[03:42.81] (To admit) we don't see eye to eye
