Every generation
blames the one before
and all of their frustrations
come beating on your door
I know that iand'm a prisoner
to all my father held so dear
i know that iand'm a hostage
to all his hopes and fears
i just wish i could have told him in the living years
Crumpled bits of paper
filled with imperfect thought
stilted conversations
iand'm afraid thatand's all weand've got
You say you just donand't see it
he says itand's perfect sense
you just canand't get agreement
in this present tense
we all talk a different language
talking in defence
Say it loud, say it clear
you can listen as well as you hear
itand's too late when we die
to admit we donand't see eye to eye
So we open up a quarrel
between the present and the past
we only sacrifice the future
itand's the bitterness that lasts
So donand't yield to the fortunes
you sometimes see as fate
it may have a new perspective
on a different day
and if you donand't give up, and donand't give in
you may just be o.k.
Say it loud, say it clear
you can listen as well as you hear
itand's too late when we die
to admit we donand't see eye to eye
I wasnand't there that morning
when my father passed away
i didnand't get to tell him
all the things i had to say
I think i caught his spirit
later that same year
iand'm sure i heard his echo
in my babyand's new born tears
i just wish i could have told him in the living years
Say it loud, say it clear
you can listen as well as you hear
itand's too late when we die
to admit we donand't see eye to eye
