What are you waiting for?
I think of my own father whenever I hear these lyrics, sung by Mike & 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 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 just talk a different language, talkin' 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...
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 date. And if you don't give up, and don't give in, you may just be ok.
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 nephew'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
Say it loud, say it clear.... Don't give up. Never give in. You can listen as well as you hear.
It's too late when we die, to admit we don't see eye to eye...
