Once upon a younger year

When all our shadows disappeared

The animals inside came out to play

When face to face with all our fears

Made memories we knew would never fade

One day my father he told me,

Son, don't-let-it slip away
G# A#m G#
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.

When thunder clouds start pouring down

Light a fire they can't put out
G# A#m
Carve their name into those shinning stars

Don't forsake this life of yours

I'll guide you home no matter where you are.
