Lyrics Afterlife - Testament

Afterlife

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’ll see when comes the 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
When 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
When 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
When 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
