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, a family, he said you'd see when it comes 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
