When my old man he said to me
You're growing fast boy
There's so much to see
You take a wife, new born family.
He said you'd see when comes to 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 he 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 he said to me
The world moves fast boy with no guarantees
Trust in no one till you find someone you believe
Then my father past away
From this world 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!
He helps 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 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
