Every generation
the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come on door
I know that I'm a prisoner
To all my Father so dear
I know that I'm a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years
Oh, crumpled bits of paper
Filled imperfect 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 listen as 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 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 day
And if you don't give up, and don't give in
You may be okay
So say it loud, say it clear (oh say it clear)
You can listen as as you hear
Because it's too late, it's too late (it's too late)
we die (oh, when we die)
To admit we don't see eye to eye
I wasn't there that morning
my Father passed away
I didn't get to him
All the I had to say
I I caught his spirit
same year
I'm sure I heard his echo
In my baby's new tears
I just I could have told him in the living years
Say it loud, say it (oh say it clear)
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too (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 clear (come on say it clear)
Say it loud
(Don't give 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)
