Generate meaning
1
Every generation blames the one before
2
And all of their frustrations come beating on your door
3
I know that I'm a prisoner to all my father held so dear
4
I know that I'm a hostage to all his hopes and fears
5
I just wish I could've told him in the living years
6
Oh, crumpled bits of paper filled with imperfect thoughts
7
Stilted conversations I'm afraid that's all we've got
8
You say you just don't see it he says it's perfect sense
9
You just can't get agreement in this present tense
10
We all talk a different language, talking in defense
11
Say it loud, say it clear
12
You can listen as well as you hear
13
It's too late when we die
14
To admit we don't see eye to eye
15
So we open up a quarrel between the present and the past
16
We only sacrifice the future it's the bitterness that lasts
17
So don't yield to the fortunes you sometimes see as fate
18
It may have a new perspective on a different day
19
And if you don't give up and don't give in, you may just be okay
20
Say it loud, say it clear
21
You can listen as well as you hear
22
It's too late when we die
23
To admit we don't see eye to eye
24
I wasn't there that morning when my father passed away
25
I didn't get to tell him all the things I had to say
26
I think I caught his spirit later that same year
27
I'm sure I heard his echo in my baby's new born tears
28
I just wish I could have told him in the living years
29
Say it loud, say it clear
30
You can listen as well as you hear
31
It's too late when we die
32
To admit we don't see eye to eye
33
Say it loud, say it clear
34
Say it loud, say it clear
35
Say it loud, say it clear
36
Say it loud
