[00:03.00]

[00:29.30]Every generation, blames the one before
[00:37.48]And all of their frustrations, come beating on your door
[00:47.20]I know that I'm a prisoner to all my father held so dear
[00:53.66]I know that I'm a hostage to all his hopes and fears
[00:58.21]I just wish I could have told him in the living years
[01:05.09]
[01:07.57]Crumpled bits of paper
[01:12.41]Filled with imperfect thoughts
[01:16.49]Stilted conversations, I'm afraid that's all we've got
[01:26.59]You say you just don't see it, he says its perfect sense
[01:32.71]You just can't get agreement, in this present tense
[01:37.30]We all talk a different language, talking in defense
[01:44.71]
[01:46.21]So say it loud
[01:51.32]Say it clear
[01:55.34]You can listen as well as you hear
[02:04.71]It's too late (it's too late)
[02:11.13]When we die (when we die)
[02:15.88]To admit we don't see eye to eye
[02:24.70]
[02:26.60]So we open up the quarrel
[02:30.92]Between the present and the past
[02:34.64]We only sacrifice the future
[02:39.77]It's the bitterness that lasts
[02:45.12]So don't yield to the fortunes
[02:49.00]You sometimes see as fate
[02:51.00]It may have a new perspective on a different day
[02:55.85]And if you don't give up, and don't give in, you may just be OK
[03:03.54]
[03:04.20]So say it say it say it loud
[03:09.78]Say it clear
[03:14.63]You can listen as well as you hear
[03:23.74]Cos it's too late (it's too late)
[03:29.36]When we die (when we die)
[03:34.31]To admit we don't see eye to eye
[03:43.59]
[03:45.13]I wasn't there that morning
[03:48.07]When my father passed away
[03:53.62]I didn't get to tell him, all the things I had to say
[04:04.06]I think I caught his spirit, later that same year
[04:09.61]I’m sure I heard his echo in my baby's newborn tears
[04:14.32]I just, wish I could have told him in the living years
[04:21.29]
[04:22.22]So say it say it say it loud
[04:28.34]Say it clear
[04:32.95]You can listen as well as you hear
[04:41.59]Cos it's too late (it's too late)
[04:47.55]When we die (when we die)
[04:52.36]To admit we don't see eye to eye
[05:01.31]
[05:02.34]Yes it's too late (it's too late)
[05:07.29]When we die (when we die)
[05:12.15]To admit we don't see eye to eye
[05:21.82]
[05:22.62]Every generation…
