VerseC#m
Once upon a younger year
C#m
When all our shadows disappeared
BC#m
The animals inside came out to play
C#m
When face to face with all our fears
C#m
Learned our lessons through the tears
BC#m
Made memories we knew would never fade
ChorusA
One day my father—he told me,
E
"Son, don't let it slip away"
BC#m
He took me in his arms, I heard him say,
VerseA
"When you get older
E
Your wild life will live for younger days
BB *
Think of me if ever you're afraid."
Pre-Chorus : single strum]
AE
He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind
BC#m
So live a life you will remember."

When thunder clouds start pouring down

Carve their name into those shinning stars

Don't forsake this life of yours.
BC#m
I'll guide you home no matter where you are."
