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 (1)________ 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
Oh, crumpled (2)________ of paper
Filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
I'm afraid that's all we've got
You say you (3)________ don't see it
He says it's perfect sense
You (4)________ can't get agreement
In (5)________ (6)______________ tense
We all (7)________ a (8)__________________ language
Talking in defence
Say it loud (say it loud), say it clear (oh say it clear)
You can (9)____________ as well as you hear
It's too late (it's too late) when we die (oh when we die)
To (10)__________ 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 (11)________ lasts
So don't yield to the fortunes
You (12)__________________ 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
So say it loud, say it (13)__________ (oh say it clear)
You can (14)____________ as well as you hear
Because it's too late, it's too (15)________ (it's too late)
When we die (oh, when we die)
To admit we don't see eye to eye
I wasn't there (16)________ 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 (17)________ same year
I'm sure I heard his echo
In my baby's new born tears
I just (18)________ I (19)__________ (20)________ told him in the (21)____________ years
Say it loud, say it clear (oh say it clear)
You can (22)____________ as well as you hear
It's too late (it's too late) when we die (it's too (23)________ when we die)
To admit we don't see eye to eye
So say it, say it, say it (24)________ (say it loud)
Say it clear (come on say it clear)
Say it loud
(Don't give up, don't (25)________ in and don't look away 'til it's too late)
Say it clear
Say it loud (say it loud, say it loud)
