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 thunder clouds 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，
One day my father he told me，
Son don't let it slip away，
When I was just a kid 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。
