Living Years - Engelbert Humperdinck (英格柏·汉普汀克)
Every generation

Blames the one before

And all of their frustrations

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 thought

Stilted conversations

I'm afraid that's all we've got

You say you just don't see it
He says it's perfect sense

You 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

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

And it's the bitterness that lasts

So don't yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate

It may have a new perspective

On a different day

And if you don't give up and don't give in
You 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

To admit we don't see eye to eye

I wasn't there that morning

When my father passed away

I didn't get to tell him

All the things I had to say

I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year

I'm sure I heard his echo
In my baby's new born tears
I just wish I could have told him

In the living years

Say it loud

Say it loud

Say it clear

Say it clear

You can listen as well as you hear

It's too late

It's too late

When we die

When we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye

Say it loud

Say it loud

Say it clear
Say it clear

Say it loud say it clear

Say it loud say it clear
