[Verse 1]
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 heart 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 your 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 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

[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]

These are the night
that never die
My father told me
Hey, hey
