The Living Years by Mike And The Mechanics
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 (1)________ that I'm a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just (2)________ I could (3)________ told him in the (4)____________ years
Oh, crumpled (5)________ of paper
Filled (6)________ imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
I'm (7)____________ 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 (8)________ a (9)__________________ language
Talking in defence
Say it (10)________ (say it loud), say it clear (oh say it clear)
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late (it's too late) when we die (oh when we die)
To (11)__________ 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 (12)__________________ see as fate
It may have a new perspective
On a different day
And if you don't give up, and don't give in
You may just be okay
So say it loud, say it clear (oh say it clear)
You can (13)____________ as well as you hear
Because it's too late, it's too late (it's too late)
When we die (oh, (14)________ we die)
To admit we don't see eye to eye
I wasn't there that morning
When my Father (15)____________ 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 (16)________ tears
I just wish I could have (17)________ him in the living years
Say it loud, say it clear (oh say it clear)
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late (it's too late) (18)________ we die (it's too (19)________ when we die)
To (20)__________ we don't see eye to eye
So say it, say it, say it (21)________ (say it loud)
Say it clear (come on say it clear)
Say it loud
(Don't (22)________ up, don't (23)________ in and don't look away 'til it's too late)
Say it clear
Say it loud (say it loud, say it loud)
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
