The Living Years by Mike And The Mechanics

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 (1)________ so dear
I know that I'm a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have (2)________ him in the living years
Oh, crumpled (3)________ of paper
Filled (4)________ imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
I'm afraid that's all we've got
You say you (5)________ don't see it
He says it's (6)______________ sense
You just can't get agreement
In this present tense
We all talk a different language
Talking in defence
Say it (7)________ (say it loud), say it clear (oh say it clear)
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late (it's too late) when we die (oh 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 (8)__________ 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 (9)________ in
You may just be okay
So say it loud, say it clear (oh say it clear)
You can listen as (10)________ as you hear
Because it's too late, it's too late (it's too late)
When we die (oh, when we die)
To admit we don't see eye to eye
I wasn't (11)__________ that morning
When my (12)____________ passed away
I didn't get to (13)________ him
All the things I had to say
I think I caught his spirit
Later (14)________ same year
I'm (15)________ I (16)__________ his echo
In my baby's new (17)________ tears
I (18)________ (19)________ I (20)__________ have told him in the living years
Say it loud, say it (21)__________ (oh say it clear)
You can listen as (22)________ as you hear
It's too (23)________ (it's too late) (24)________ we die (it's too late when we die)
To (25)__________ we don't see eye to eye
So say it, say it, say it (26)________ (say it loud)
Say it clear (come on say it clear)
Say it loud
(Don't give up, don't give in and don't (27)________ away 'til it's too late)
Say it clear
Say it loud (say it loud, say it loud)
