Once upon a younger
year when all our
shadows disappeared
The animals inside
came out to play
When face to face
with all our fears
Learned our lessons
through the tears
Made memories
we knew would never fade
One day my father he told me
son don't let it slip away
He took me in his arms
I heard him say
When you get older
your wild life will live
for younger days
Think of me if
ever you're afraid
He said one day you'll
leave this world behind
So live a life you will remember
My father told me
when I was just a child
These are the nights
that never die
My father told me
When thunder clouds
start pourin' down
light a fire they can't put out
Carve your name
into those shinnin' stars
He said go venture
far beyond the shores
Don't forsake this life of yours
I'll guide you home
no matter where you are
One day my father he told me
son don't let it slip away
When I was just a kid
I heard him say
When you get older
your wild life will live
for younger days
Think of me if
ever you're afraid
He said one day you'll
leave this world behind
So live a life you will remember
My father told me
when I was just a child
These are the nights
that never die
My father told me
These are the nights
that never die
My father told me
My father told me
