7 Years - Lukas Graham

Once I was seven years old, my mama told me

Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely.

Once I was seven years old.

It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger.

Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker.

By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor

Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure

Once I was eleven years old, my daddy told me

Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely.

Once I was eleven years old.

I always had that dream like my daddy before me

So I started writing songs, I started writing stories

Something about the glory, just always seemed to bore me

Cause only those I really love will ever really know me

Once I was twenty years old, my story got told

Before the morning sun, when life was lonely.

Once I was twenty years old.

I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure.

Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major.

I got my boys with me atleast those in favor

And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later.

Once I was 20 years old, my story got told

I was writing about everything, I saw before me

Once I was 20 years old.

Soon we'll be 30 years old, our songs have been sold

We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming.

Soon we'll be 30 years old.

I'm still learning about life

My woman brought children for me

So I can sing them all my songs

And I can tell them stories

most of my boys are with me

Some are still out seeking glory

And some I had to leave behind

My brother I'm still sorry

Soon I'll be 60 years old, my daddy got 61

Remember life and then your life becomes a better one

I made the man so happy when I wrote a letter once

I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month

Soon I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold

Or will I have a lot of children who can bore me

Soon I'll be 60 years old

Soon I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold

Or will I have a lot of children who can bore me

Soon I'll be 60 years old

Once I was seven years old, my mama told me

Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely

Once I was seven years old

Once I was seven years old
