The Living Years

Every generation

  • 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 know that I'm a hostage
  • To all his hopes and fears
  • I just wish I could have told him in the living years
  • Crumpled bits of paper
  • Filled with 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 defense
  • Say it loud say it clear
  • You can listen as well as you hear
  • It's too late 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 different date
  • And if you don't give up and don't give in
  • You may just be O K
  • Say it loud say it clear
  • You can listen as well as you hear
  • It's too late 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 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 born tears
  • I just wish I could have told him in the living years
  • Say it loud say it clear
  • You can listen as well as you hear
  • It's too late when we die
  • To admit we don't see eye to eye
