[offset:0]
[00:20.06]Every generation
[00:24.50]Blames the one before
[00:26.23]
[00:29.37]And all of their frustrations
[00:31.36]
[00:34.06]Come beating on your door
[00:36.11]
[00:39.12]I know that I'm a prisoner
[00:41.37]To all my Father held so dear
[00:43.93]I know that I'm a hostage
[00:45.75]To all his hopes and fears
[00:48.81]I just wish I could have told him
[00:51.43]In the living years
[00:54.48]
[00:58.99]Crumpled bits of paper
[01:00.48]
[01:03.37]Filled with imperfect thoughts
[01:05.11]
[01:08.62]Stilted conversations
[01:09.92]
[01:13.06]I'm afraid that's all we've got
[01:15.86]
[01:18.50]You say you just don't see it
[01:21.06]He says it's perfect sense
[01:22.79]
[01:23.37]You just can't get agreement
[01:25.68]In this present tense
[01:27.17]
[01:27.75]We all talk a different language
[01:29.86]
[01:30.62]Talkin' in defense
[01:32.67]
[01:39.63]Say it loud say it clear
[01:45.99]
[01:46.76]（You can listen） as well as you hear
[01:53.24]
[01:56.82]It's too late when we die
[02:05.80]
[02:06.32]（To admit） we don't see eye to eye
[02:12.36]
[02:16.69]So we open up a quarrel
[02:18.93]
[02:21.44]Between the present and the past
[02:23.62]
[02:26.13]We only sacrifice the future
[02:28.49]
[02:31.50]It's the bitterness that lasts
[02:33.62]
[02:36.82]So don't yield to the fortunes
[02:39.19]You sometimes see as fate
[02:41.50]It may have a new perspective
[02:43.56]
[02:44.25]On a different date
[02:45.68]
[02:46.26]And if you don't give up
[02:47.94]And don't give in
[02:49.19]You may just be O K
[02:51.80]
[02:54.43]Say it loud say it clear
[03:04.79]
[03:05.92]（You can listen） as well as you hear
[03:11.73]
[03:14.61]Because it's too late when we die
[03:23.86]
[03:24.68]（To admit） we don't see eye to eye
[03:31.29]
[03:35.75]I wasn't there that morning
[03:37.55]
[03:40.06]When my Father passed away
[03:42.11]
[03:45.37]I didn't get to tell him
[03:47.42]
[03:49.81]All the things I had to say
[03:52.48]
[03:55.06]I think I caught his spirit
[03:57.56]Later that same year
[03:59.99]I'm sure I heard his echo
[04:02.75]In my baby's new born tears
[04:04.75]I just wish I could have told him
[04:07.62]In the living years
[04:12.82]So say it say it say it loud
[04:15.43]
[04:21.13]Say it clear
[04:22.67]
[04:23.50]（You can listen） as well as you hear
[04:30.18]
[04:33.50]It's too late when we die
[04:42.55]
[04:43.37]To admit we don't see eye to eye
[04:49.73]
[04:53.25]（Say it loud）Say it loud say it clear
[05:00.73]
[05:02.68]（You can listen） as well as you hear
[05:08.92]
[05:12.04]Because it's too late when we die
[05:18.97]
[05:22.48]To admit we don't see eye to eye
[05:28.65]
[05:33.42]I wasn't there that morning
[05:35.09]
