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