[Instrumental Intro]
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."
[Short Instrumental Break]
Wonder where we go
Is there really an afterlife?
Never growing old
Going home will free his spirit
[Short Instrumental Break]
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
[Short Instrumental Break]
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
[Short Instrumental Break]
When my old man was alive
He always would teach
When my old man was alive
He always believed in me
[Instrumental Break]
He helped shape his son
[Instrumental Break]
The man I've become
[Instrumental Break]
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
[Short Instrumental Break]
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
