[00:29.40] Every generation
[00:34.50] Blames the one before
[00:39.28] And all of their frustrations
[00:44.07] Come beating on your door
[00:49.11] I know that I'm a prisoner
[00:51.23] To all my Father held so dear
[00:53.89] I know that I'm a hostage
[00:56.02] To all his hopes and fears
[00:58.67] I just wish I could have told him
[01:01.60] in the living years
[01:08.51] Crumpled bits of paper
[01:13.03] Filled with imperfect thought
[01:18.62] Stilted conversations
[01:23.13] I'm afraid that's all we've got
[01:28.44] You say you just don't see it
[01:30.31] He says it's perfect sense
[01:33.22] You just can't get agreement
[01:35.61] In this present tense
[01:37.75] We all talk a different language
[01:40.67] Talking in defense
[01:46.78] Say it loud, say it clear
[01:56.61] You can listen as well as you hear
[02:06.45] It's too late when we die
[02:16.28] To admit we don't see eye to eye
[02:26.64] So we open up a quarrel
[02:31.43] Between the present and the past
[02:36.47] We only sacrifice the future
[02:41.26] It's the bitterness that lasts
[02:46.30] So don't yield to the fortunes
[02:48.95] You sometimes see as fate
[02:51.34] It may have a new perspective
[02:54.00] On a different date
[02:56.13] And if you don't give up,
[02:57.72] and don't give in
[02:59.05] You may just be O.K.
[03:05.16] Say it loud, say it clear
[03:14.98] You can listen as well as you hear
[03:24.82] It's too late when we die
[03:34.65] To admit we don't see eye to eye
[03:45.27] I wasn't there that morning
[03:50.05] When my Father passed away
[03:55.09] I didn't get to tell him
[03:59.87] All the things I had to say
[04:05.45] I think I caught his spirit
[04:07.85] Later that same year
[04:09.98] I'm sure I heard his echo
[04:12.36] In my baby's new born tears
[04:15.02] I just wish I could have told him
[04:17.67] in the living years
[04:23.79] Say it loud, say it clear
[04:33.61] You can listen as well as you hear
[04:43.45] It's too late when we die
[04:53.27] To admit we don't see eye to eye
