Once upon a young year, when all our shadows disappeared, [F#] the animals [C#] inside came [D#m] out to play.
We went face to face with all our fears, learned our lessons through the tears, [C#] made memories we knew would [D#m] never fade.
One day [B] my father, he told me, son [F#] don't let it slip away, [C#] to be here is all I [D#m] heard him say.
When you [B] get older and you're a wild heart, [F#] we'll live for younger days, [C#] thinking it's never your day.
[B] He said one day you'll leave this world [F#] behind, so [C#] live a life you will [D#m] remember.
My [B] father told me when I was [F#] just a child, these [C#] are the nights that [D#m] never die.

[D#m] [C#] [D#m] sun and clouds start pulling down, light a fire they can't put [C#] out, carve your name into the [D#m] shining stars.
He said go venture far beyond the shores, don't forsake this life of [C#] yours, I'll guide you home no matter [D#m] where you are.
One [B] day my father, he told me, [F#] son don't let it slip away, [C#] when I was just a kid I [D#m] heard him say.
When you [B] get older and you're a wild [F#] heart, we'll live for younger days, thinking [C#] it's never your day.
