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 Make 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 life will live for younger days Think of me as forever your faith
[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] [?] 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 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 as forever your faith
[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
