The Living Years - Alabama[00:00:00]
Every generation[00:00:20]
Blames the one before[00:00:24]
And all of their frustrations[00:00:29]
Come beating on your door[00:00:34]
I know that I'm a prisoner[00:00:39]
To all my father held so dear[00:00:41]
I know that I'm a hostage[00:00:43]
To all his hopes and fears[00:00:45]
I just wish I could have told him[00:00:48]
In the living years[00:00:51]
Crumpled bits of paper[00:00:57]
Filled with imperfect thought[00:01:02]
Stilted conversations[00:01:07]
I'm afraid that's all we've got[00:01:12]
You say you just don't see it[00:01:17]
He says it's perfect sense[00:01:19]
You just can't get agreement[00:01:22]
In this present tense[00:01:24]
We all talk a different language[00:01:26]
Talking in defense[00:01:29]
Say it loud say it clear[00:01:35]
You can listen as well as you hear[00:01:45]
It's too late when we die[00:01:54]
To admit we don't see eye to eye[00:02:04]
So we open up a quarrel[00:02:14]
Between the present and the past[00:02:19]
We only sacrifice the future[00:02:24]
And it's the bitterness that lasts[00:02:28]
So don't yield to the fortunes[00:02:34]
You sometimes see as fate[00:02:36]
It may have a new perspective[00:02:38]
On a different day[00:02:41]
And if you don't give up and don't give in[00:02:43]
You may just be okay[00:02:46]
Say it loud say it clear[00:02:52]
You can listen as well as you hear[00:03:02]
It's too late when we die[00:03:11]
To admit we don't see eye to eye[00:03:21]
I wasn't there that morning[00:03:32]
When my father passed away[00:03:36]
I didn't get to tell him[00:03:41]
All the things I had to say[00:03:45]
I think I caught his spirit[00:03:51]
Later that same year[00:03:53]
I'm sure I heard his echo[00:03:55]
In my baby's new born tears[00:03:57]
I just wish I could have told him[00:04:00]
In the living years[00:04:03]
Say it loud say it clear[00:04:09]
You can listen as well as you hear[00:04:19]
It's too late when we die[00:04:28]
To admit we don't see eye to eye[00:04:37]
Say it loud say it clear[00:04:48]
You can listen as well as you hear[00:04:57]
It's too late when we die[00:05:06]
We don't see eye to eye[00:05:17]
Say it loud say it clear[00:05:26]
You can listen as well as you hear[00:05:34]
