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
