Lyrics Living Years (with the SWR Big Band)

Every generation blamed the one before
And all of their frustration 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 thoughts
Stilted conversation
I'm afraid that's all we've got
You say you just don't see it
He said it's perfect sense
Just can't get agreement in this present tense
We all talk a different language
Talking in defense
Well say it loud
Say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
Well 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
But don't yield to the fortune you sometimes see as fate
You may have a new perspective on a different day
If you don't give up and don't give in you may just be okay
Say it loud
Say it clear
'Cos you can listen as well as you hear
Well it's too late when we die
To admit that we don't see eye to eye
Well I wasn't there that morning when my father passed away
And I didn't get to tell him all the things
I had to say
But I think I caught his spirit later that same year
I'm sure I heard an echo in my baby's new born tears
But I wish I could have told him in the living years
Say it loud
Say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
'Cos it's too late when we die
To admit that we don't see eye to eye
