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 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

When thunder clouds start pouring down

Light a fire they can't put out

Carve their name into those shinning stars

He said go adventure far beyond these 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 this 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

Hey hey
