The Nights

Once upon a younger year
 When all our shadows disappeared
 The animals inside came out to play
 Went 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"
 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"
 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
 ♪
 "When thunderclouds start pouring down
 Light a fire they can't put out
 Carve your name into those shining stars"
 He said, "Go venture far beyond the shores
 Don't forsake this life of yours
 I'll guide you home no matter where you are"
