[Verse 1]
Hey, once upon a younger year
When all our shadows disappeared

The animals inside came out to play
Hey, We're 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



[Chorus]

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 2]

When thunder clouds start pouring down
Light a fire they can't put out
Carve their name into those shinning stars

He said go venture 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 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


[Chorus]
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
