Select language to translate this lyric
Every generation, blames the one before
And all of their frustrations, come beating on your door
I know that Iâm a prisoner to all my father held so dear
I know that Iâm 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 conversations, Iâm afraid thatâs all weâve got
You say you just donât see it, he says its perfect sense
You just canât get agreement, in this present tense
We all talk a different language, talking in defense
So say it loud
Say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
Itâs too late (itâs too late)
When we die (when we die)
To admit we donât see eye to eye
So we open up the quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
Itâs the bitterness that lasts
So donât yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective on a different day
And if you donât give up, and donât give in, you may just be OK
So say it say it say it loud
Say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
âCos itâs too late (itâs too late)
When we die (when we die)
To admit we donât see eye to eye
I wasnât there that morning
When my father passed away
I didnât get to tell him, all the things I had to say
I think I caught his spirit, later that same year
Iâm sure I heard his echo in my babyâs newborn tears
I just, wish I could have told him in the living years
So say it say it say it loud
Say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
âCos itâs too late (itâs too late)
When we die (when we die)
To admit we donât see eye to eye
Yes itâs too late (itâs too late)
When we die (when we die)
To admit we donât see eye to eye
Every generationâ¦
