The Living Years (Glee Cast Version) Lyrics

[00:19.85] Every generation
[00:33.37] Blames the one before
[00:38.76] And all of their frustrations
[00:43.25] Come beating on your door
[00:48.66] I know that I'm a prisoner
[00:50.52] To all my Father held so dear
[00:53.29] I know that I'm a hostage
[00:55.03] To all his hopes and fears
[00:57.75] I just wish I could have told him
[01:00.44] In the living years
[01:08.58] Crumpled bits of paper
[01:13.03] Filled with imperfect thought
[01:17.52] Stilted conversations
[01:22.94] I'm afraid that's all we've got
[01:26.50] You say you just don't see it
[01:30.18] He says it's perfect sense
[01:32.87] You just can't get agreement
[01:35.62] In this present tense
[01:37.43] We all talk a different language
[01:40.12] Talking in defence
[01:46.41] Say it loud, say it clear
[01:56.39] You can listen as well as you hear
[02:06.21] It's too late when we die
[02:15.23] To admit we don't see eye to eye
[02:27.07] So we open up a quarrel
[02:31.55] Between the present and the past
[02:36.02] We only sacrifice the future
[02:40.52] It's the bitterness that lasts
[02:46.88] So don't yield to the fortunes
[02:49.59] You sometimes see as fate
[02:51.30] It may have a new perspective
[02:53.13] On a different day
[02:55.86] And if you don't give up, and don't give in
[02:58.56] You may just be OK
[03:02.19] Say it loud, say it clear
[03:14.72] You can listen as well as you hear
[03:24.78] It's too late when we die
[03:34.68] To admit we don't see eye to eye
[03:44.56] I wasn't there that morning
[03:49.03] When my Father passed away
[03:54.43] I didn't get to tell him
[03:59.34] All the things I had to say
[04:04.37] I think I caught his spirit
[04:07.05] Later that same year
[04:09.79] I'm sure I heard his echo
[04:12.48] In my baby's new born tears
[04:14.23] I just wish I could have told him
[04:17.06] In the living years
[04:22.40] Say it loud, say it clear
[04:33.27] You can listen as well as you hear
[04:43.18] It's too late when we die
[04:53.01] To admit we don't see eye to eye
[05:11.07]
