[00:00.000] 作曲 : M. Rutherford/B. Robertson [00:29.72]Every generation [00:34.54]Blames the one before [00:39.46]And all of their frustrations [00:44.06]Come beating on your door [00:47.53] [00:49.07]I know that I'm a prisoner [00:51.01]To all my Father held so dear [00:53.97]I know that I'm a hostage [00:55.93]To all his hopes and fears [00:58.52]I just wish I could have told him in the living years [01:05.79] [01:08.31]Crumpled bits of paper [01:13.29]Filled with imperfect thoughts [01:18.46]Stilted conversations [01:22.95]I'm afraid that's all we've got [01:26.74] [01:28.26]You say you just don't see it [01:30.40]He says it's perfect sense [01:32.93]You just can't get agreement [01:35.43]In this present tense [01:37.71]We all talk a different language [01:40.70]Talkin' in defense [01:44.95] [01:46.66]Say it loud, say it clear [01:56.39]You can listen as well as you hear [02:06.09]It's too late when we die [02:16.07]To admit we don't see eye to eye [02:25.30] [02:26.69]So we open up a quarrel [02:31.55]Between the present and the past [02:36.16]We only sacrifice the future [02:41.37]It's the bitterness that lasts [02:45.26] [02:46.68]So Don't yield to the fortunes [02:49.18]You sometimes see as fate [02:51.27]It may have a new perspective [02:54.08]On a different date [02:56.08]And if you don't give up, and don't give in [02:58.99]You may just be O.K. [03:03.44] [03:05.40]Say it loud, say it clear [03:14.79]You can listen as well as you hear [03:24.78]It's too late when we die [03:34.46]To admit we don't see eye to eye [03:43.16] [03:45.63]I wasn't there that morning [03:50.04]When my Father passed away [03:55.47]I didn't get to tell him [03:59.87]All the things I had to say [04:04.10] [04:05.38]I think I caught his spirit [04:07.79]Later that same year [04:10.01]I'm sure I heard his echo [04:12.32]In my baby's new born tears [04:14.67]I just wish I could have told him in the living years [04:22.50] [04:23.72]Say it loud, say it clear [04:33.35]You can listen as well as you hear [04:43.14]It's too late when we die [04:52.93]To admit we don't see eye to eye [05:00.95] [05:02.83]Say it loud, say it clear [05:12.55]Say it loud [05:14.65]Don't give up [05:16.86]Don't give in [05:18.24]And don't know what you can do next [05:21.40]
