Hey once upon our
younger year when all our
shadows disappeared
the animals inside
came out to play
Hey went 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 heart 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 pouring down
light a fire they can't put
out carve your name into
those shining 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 heart 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
