歌曲歌詞
Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door
I know that I'm a prisoner
To all my father held so dear
I know that I'm a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I wish I could have told him
In the living years
Crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thoughts
Stilted conversations
I'm afraid that's all we've got
You say you just don't see it
He says it's perfect sense
You just can't get agreement
In this present tense
We all talk a different language
Talkin' in defense
Say it loud say it loud
Say it clear say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late it's too late
When we die when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye
So we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
It's the bitterness that lasts
So don't yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective
On a different date
And if you don't give up
And don't give in
You may just be ok
Say it loud say it loud
Say it clear say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late it's too late
When we die when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye
I wasn't there that morning
When my father passed away
I didn't get to tell him
All the things I had to say
I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
I'm sure I heard his echo
In my baby's new born tears
I wish I could have told him
In the living years
Say it loud say it loud
Say it clear say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
Say it loud say it loud
Say it clear say it clear
To admit we don't see eye to eye
Say it loud say it clear
Say it loud say it clear
Say it loud say it clear
Say it loud say it clear
