Video Description:
The song "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 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 More crumpled bits of paper filled with
imperfect thoughts 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 loud (say it clear oh say it clear (you can l
isten) 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 the quarrel 'tween 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 it's fate i
t 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 say it say it loud (say it clear) oh say it clear (you can listen) as well as you hear because it's too late it's too late (when we die) oh when we die (to admit) we don't see e
ye 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 So say it say it 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) it's too late when we die (to admit) we don't see eye to eye Hey so say it say it say it loud 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 look until it's too late (say it loud) say it loud say it loud (say it clear)

I'm totally uplifted by this song.
My dad and I don't see eye to eye but we get along, I'll miss who he used to be when I was a kid.
