Once upon a younger year

When all our shadows diseppeared

The animals inside came out to playWent 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 thunderclouds 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

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
