He said one day, you'll leave this world behind

My father told me, when I was just a child

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

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

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

Carve their name into those shinning stars

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