When my old man said to me:
"You're growing fast, boy. There's so much to see."
You take a wife, newborn, a family
He said:
"You'll see when comes a time to be a man, to do what's right. You'll always find a way to make your way through life."
When my old man said to me:
"Treat mankind with dignity. Start with no one, finding someone that you need."
Wonder where we go
Is there really an afterlife?
Never growing old
Going home will free his spirit
When my old man said to me:
"The world moves fast, boy, with no guarantees. Trust in no one 'til you find someone you believe."
Then my father passed away
From this world on to a grave
Mother Earth, sands of time
A better place, the afterlife
Wonder where we go
Is there really an afterlife?
Never growing old
Going home will free his spirit
Never-ending love
Is there hope in the afterlife?
Reach into my soul
I'll see my dad in the afterlife
When my old man was alive
He always would teach
When my old man was alive
He always believed in me
[Solo]
He helped shape his son
The man that I've become
Then my old man said to me:
"Embrace the past. Listen son, carry on our legacy."
Then my father passed away
From this world on to a grave
Mother Earth, sands of time
A better place, the afterlife
Wonder where we go
Is there really an afterlife?
Never growing old
Going home will free his spirit
Never-ending love
Is there hope in the afterlife?
Reach into my soul
We'll meet again in the afterlife
