The Living Years by Mike And The Mechanics

Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on (1)________ door
I know that I'm a prisoner
To all my Father held so dear
I (2)________ (3)________ I'm a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could (4)________ told him in the (5)____________ years
Oh, crumpled bits of paper
Filled with (6)__________________ thought
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
Talking in defence
Say it loud (say it loud), say it clear (oh say it clear)
You can (7)____________ as well as you hear
It's too late (it's too late) when we die (oh when we die)
To admit we don't see eye to eye
So we open up a quarrel
Between the (8)______________ and the past
We (9)________ sacrifice the future
It's the bitterness (10)________ lasts
So don't yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective
On a (11)__________________ day
And if you don't (12)________ up, and don't (13)________ in
You may just be okay
So say it loud, say it clear (oh say it clear)
You can (14)____________ as (15)________ as you hear
Because it's too late, it's too late (it's too late)
When we die (oh, 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 (16)____________ I had to say
I (17)__________ I (18)____________ his spirit
Later (19)________ same year
I'm sure I (20)__________ his echo
In my baby's new born tears
I just (21)________ I could (22)________ told 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 (23)________ (it's too late) when we die (it's too late when we die)
To admit we don't see eye to eye
So say it, say it, say it loud (say it loud)
Say it (24)__________ (come on say it clear)
Say it loud
(Don't (25)________ up, don't give in and don't look away 'til it's too late)
Say it clear
Say it loud (say it loud, say it loud)
