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

My father told me, when I was just a child

These are the nights, that never die

Dm
Once upon a younger year
Dm
When all our shadows disappeared
C Dm
The animals inside came out to play
Dm
When face to face with all our fears
Dm
Learned our lessons through the tears
C Dm
Made memories we knew would never fade
[Chorus]

One day my father he told me,
F
Son, don't-let-it 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 if ever you're afraid.

Dm
When thunder clouds start pouring down
Dm
Light a fire they can't put out
C Dm
Carve their name into those shinning stars

He said, go adventure far beyond these shores

Don't forsake this life of yours
C Dm
I'll guide you home no matter where you are.
