Am
(hey) once upon a younger year
Am
when all our shadows disappeared
GAm
the animals inside came out to play..
Am
(hey) went face to face with all our fears
Am
learned our lessons through the tears
GAm
made memories we knew would never fade..
F
one day my father..
C
he told me "son, don't let it slip away"
G
he took me in his arms
Am
i heard him say.. (hey)
F
when you get older..
C
your wild heart will live
for younger days..
G
think of me if ever you're afraid..
(Chorus)
F
he said, one day..
C
you'll leave this world behind..
GAm
so live a life you will remember..
F
my father told me
C
when i was just a child..
G
these are the nights..
Am
that never die.. my father told me

Am
when thunderclouds start pouring down
Am
light a fire they can't put out
GAm
carve your name into those shining stars..
Am
he said, go venture far beyond the shores
Am
don't forsake this life of yours
G
i'll guide you home
Am
no matter where you are..
F
one day my father..
C
