The poem recalls a father's advice to his young son to make the most of life and create memories that will never fade. The father tells the son that as he gets older, to think back on his younger wild days and not to let life slip away. He encourages the son to light fires that can't be put out, carve his name in the stars, and venture beyond shores, being guided home no matter where he goes. The father wants his son to live a life that he will remember.
The Nights, lyrics
- 1. THE NIGHTS Hey, once upon a younger year When all our shadows disappeared The animals inside came out to play Hey, when face to face with all our fears Learned our lessons through the tears Made memories we knew would never fade One day my father¡ªhe told me, "Son, don't let it slip away" He took me in his arms, I heard him say, "When you get older Your wild life will live for younger days Think of me if ever you're afraid." He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind So live a life you will remember." My father told me when I was just a child These are the nights that never die My father told me When thunder clouds start pouring down Light a fire they can't put out Carve your name into those shinning stars
- 2. He said, "Go venture far beyond the shores. Don't forsake this life of yours. I'll guide you home no matter where you are." One day my father¡ªhe told me, "Son, don't let it slip away." When I was just a kid I heard him say, "When you get older Your wild life will live for younger days Think of me if ever you're afraid." He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind So live a life you will remember." My father told me when I was just a child These are the nights that never die My father told me These are the nights that never die My father told me Compositors: Ash Poumouri / John Feldman / Gabriel Budin-Smithers / Tim Berling / Jordan Matthew Suecof / Nicholas Michael Furlong Lletra de The Nights ?
