The Living Years (Words In Time Album Version) - Russ Lee[00:00:00]
Every generation[00:00:10]
Blames the one before[00:00:15]
And all of their frustrations[00:00:20]
Come beating on your door[00:00:24]
I know that I'm a prisoner[00:00:29]
To all my father held so dear[00:00:31]
I know that I'm a hostage[00:00:34]
To all his hopes and fears[00:00:36]
I just wish I could have told him[00:00:39]
In the living years[00:00:41]
Crumbled bits of paper[00:00:49]
Filled with imperfect thought[00:00:53]
Stilted conversations[00:00:59]
I'm afraid that's all we've got[00:01:03]
You say you just don't see it[00:01:08]
He says it's perfect sense[00:01:11]
You just can't get agreement[00:01:13]
In this present tense[00:01:16]
We all talk a different language[00:01:18]
Talking in defense[00:01:21]
Say it loud[00:01:27]
Say it clear[00:01:32]
You can listen as well as you hear[00:01:37]
It's too late[00:01:47]
When we die[00:01:54]
To admit we don't see eye to eye[00:01:58]
So we open up a quarrel[00:02:07]
Between the present and the past[00:02:12]
We only sacrifice the future[00:02:16]
It's the bitterness that lasts[00:02:21]
So don't yield to the fortunes[00:02:27]
You sometimes see as fate[00:02:29]
It may have new perspective[00:02:31]
On a different day[00:02:34]
And if you don't give up[00:02:36]
And don't give it[00:02:38]
You just might be OK[00:02:39]
Say it loud[00:02:45]
Say it clear[00:02:50]
You can listen as well as you hear[00:02:55]
It's too late[00:03:05]
When we die[00:03:10]
To admit we don't see eye to eye[00:03:15]
I wasn't there that morning[00:03:26]
When my father passed away[00:03:30]
I didn't get to tell him[00:03:35]
All the things I had to say[00:03:40]
I think I caught his spirit[00:03:45]
Later that same year[00:03:48]
I'm sure I heard his echo[00:03:50]
In my new born baby's tears[00:03:52]
I just wish I could have told him[00:03:55]
In the living years[00:03:58]
Come Say it loud[00:04:03]
Say it clear[00:04:08]
You can listen as well as you hear[00:04:13]
It's too late[00:04:23]
When we die[00:04:28]
To admit we don't see eye to eye[00:04:33]
Say it loud[00:04:43]
Say it clear[00:04:47]
You can listen as well as you hear[00:04:52]
It's too late[00:05:02]
When we die[00:05:07]
To admit we don't see eye to eye[00:05:12]
Say it loud[00:05:22]
Say it clear[00:05:27]
You can listen as well as you hear[00:05:32]
