(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 this 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 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 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 night that never die,"
My father told me
Hey, hey...
My father told me
