Every generation blames the one before
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 wish I could have told him in the living years
Crumpled bits of paper filled with imperfect thoughts
Stilted conversation, I'm afraid it's all we've got
You say you just don't see it, he says it's perfect sense
We 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, it's too late when we die
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, it may just be okay
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late, it's too late when we die
Too late when we die to admit we don't see eye to eye
There wasn't that a morning when my father passed away?
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
Sure I heard his echo in my baby's newborn tears
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
It's too late, it's too late when we die
Too late when we die to admit we don't see eye to eye
Say it, say it loud
Say it loud, say it clear
Don't give up, no, don't, don't give in
Don't wait till it's too late
Say it loud!
