7 Years

by Lukas Graham

on Lukas Graham (2016)

intro
Once I was 7 years old my momma told me
Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
Once I was 7 years old
verse 1
It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger
Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker
By 11 smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure
chorus
Once I was 11 years old my daddy told me
Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely
Once I was 11 years old
verse 2
I always had that dream like my daddy before me
So I started writing songs, I started writing stories
Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me
Cause only those I really love will ever really know me
chorus
Once I was 20 years old, my story got told
Before the morning sun, when life was lonely
Once I was 20 years old (Lukas Graham)verse 3
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 at least those in favor
And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later
chorus
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
verse 4
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
bridge
Soon I'll be 60 years old, my daddy got 61
Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month
chorus
Soon I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm 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 warm me
Soon I'll be 60 years old
outro
Once I was 7 years old, my momma told me
Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
Once I was 7 years old
Once I was 7 years old
