Hey, once upon a younger yearWhen all our shadows disappearedThe animals inside came out to playHey, when face to face with all our fearsLearned our lessons through the tearsMade memories we knew would never fade
One day my father—he told meSon, don't let it slip awayHe took me in his arms, I heard him say
When you get olderYour wild life will live for younger daysThink of me if ever you're afraid
He said, One day you'll leave this world behindSo live a life you will rememberMy father told me when I was just a childThese are the nights that never dieMy father told me
When thunder clouds start pouring downLight a fire they can't put outCarve their name into those shinning starsHe said, Go adventure far beyond these shoresDon't forsake this life of yoursI'll guide you home no matter where you are
One day my father—he told meSon, don't let this slip awayWhen I was just a kid I heard him say
When you get olderYour wild life will live for younger daysThink of me if ever you're afraid
He said, One day you'll leave this world behindSo live a life you will rememberMy father told me when I was just a childThese are the nights that never dieMy father told me
These are the night that never dieMy father told meHey, hey
