Hey, once upon a younger year
|
When all our shadows disappeared
|
The animals inside came out to play
|
Hey, 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 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
|
Hey, hey
|
My father told me
|
