(Verse)
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
(Chorus)
One day my father—he told me,
“Son, don’t let it slip away”
He took me in his arms, I heard him say,
(Verse)
“When you get older
Your wild life will live for younger days
Think of me if ever you’re afraid.”
(Pre-chorus : single strum)
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
(Instrumental)
(Verse)
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.”
(Chorus)
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.”
(Pre-chorus : single strum)
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
(Instrumental)
(Outro)
These are the night that never die
My father told me
(Instrumental)
