[Verse 1]
HeEmy, once upon a younger year
When aEmll our shadows disappeared
The anDimals inside came out to pEmlay
HeEmy, when face to face with all our fears
LEmearned our lessons through the tears
Made meDmories we knew would never fade
One day my faCther—he told me,
[Pre-Chorus]
"Son, don'tG let it slip away"
He tDook me in his arms, I heard him sEmay,
"When you get oClder
Your wild life will lGive for younger days
TDhink of me if ever you're afD*raid."
[Chorus]
He said, "OCne day you'll leave this world bGehind
So live a lDife you will remEmember."
My father tCold me when I was just a child
These are the Dnights that never die
My father told me
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
When tEmhunder clouds start pouring down
LiEmght a fire they can't put out
Carve yDour name into those shinnEming stars
He sEmaid, "Go venture far beyond the shores.
DoEmn't forsake this life of yours.
I'll gDuide you home no matter where you are."
One day my fCather—he told me,
[Pre-Chorus]
"Son, don't lGet it slip away."
When I Dwas just a kid I heard him Emsay,
"When you get oClder
Your wild life will lGive for younger days
ThDink of me if ever you're afD*raid."
[Chorus]
He said, "One C*day you'll leave this world bG*ehind
So live a lD*ife you will remEm*ember."
My father tC*old me when I was just a chG*ild
These are the nD*ights that neverEm* die
My father told me
[Outro]
These are the nD*ights that neverEm* die
My father told me
[Instrumental]
