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 defence
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
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 o.k.
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
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 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
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 defence
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
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 o. k.
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
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 clear

[00:29.93] 每一代人
[00:34.68] 都将过错归咎于上一代
[00:39.53] 而他们的那些懊恼
[00:44.35] 轻叩着你的门
[00:49.42] 我知道我是个囚徒
[00:51.23] 被我父亲所珍视之物囚禁
[00:54.26] 我知道我是个人质
[00:56.00] 被我父亲的希望和恐惧劫持
[00:58.68] 我只希望我本能在他的风烛残年告诉他
[01:09.01] 那些褶皱的纸张
[01:13.76] 写满了不完美的想法
[01:18.52] 不自然的交谈
[01:23.15] 恐怕是我们的仅存
[01:28.52] 你说道 你就是无法看透
[01:30.94] 他说那是一种完美的感觉
[01:33.43] 你不能苟同
[01:35.89] 毕竟已然如今
[01:38.09] 我们用不同的语言交流
[01:41.01] 卸不去防备之心
[01:46.92] 大声地说出来 清楚地说出来
[01:56.78] 你可以用心体会那些话语
[02:06.64] 待我们死去 那便为时已晚
[02:16.36] 去承认我们从未四目相对
[02:26.73] 于是我们开始争吵
[02:31.58] 争吵着曾经 争吵着现在
[02:36.41] 我们将未来牺牲
[02:41.32] 最终只剩苦涩蔓延
[02:46.94] 勿因财富而让步
[02:49.37] 有时命运亦是如此
[02:51.83] 它会带来一个全新的角度
[02:54.37] 在某一天
[02:56.30] 只要你不放弃 你不屈服
[02:59.50] 一切都将安然无恙
[03:05.49] 大声地说出来 清楚地说出来
[03:15.19] 你可以用心体会那些话语
[03:25.07] 待我们死去 那便为时已晚
[03:34.82] 去承认我们从未四目相对
[03:45.81] 那天早上我并不在
[03:50.37] 我父亲离开的那个早上
[03:55.35] 我没能和他道出
[04:00.05] 我不得不说出口的话
[04:05.62] 我想我捕捉到了他的灵魂
[04:07.91] 就在晚些那年
[04:10.15] 我确信我听到了他的回声
[04:12.42] 回响在我新生儿的眼泪中
[04:14.94] 我只希望我本能在他的风烛残年告诉他
[04:23.21] 大声地说出来 清楚地说出来
[04:33.81] 你可以用心体会那些话语
[04:43.39] 待我们死去 那便为时已晚
[04:53.24] 去承认我们从未四目相对
