Lukas Graham - 7 Years (Lyrics)

[00:17.31] Once, I was seven years old, my mama told me

[00:21.56] "Go make yourself some friends, or you'll be lonely"

[00:25.06] Once, I was seven years old

[00:33.56] It was a big-big world, but we thought we were bigger

[00:37.56] Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker

[00:41.81] By 11, smoking herb and drinking burning liquor

[00:45.56] Never rich, so we were out to make that steady figure

[00:49.31] Once, I was 11 years old, my daddy told me

[00:53.55] "Go get yourself a wife, or you'll be lonely"

[00:57.06] Once, I was 11 years old

[01:05.31] I always had that dream like my daddy before me

[01:09.56] So I started writing songs, I started writing stories

[01:13.57] Something about the glory just always seemed to bore me

[01:17.56] 'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me

[01:21.31] Once, I was 20 years old, my story got told

[01:23.56] Before the morning sun, when life was lonely

[01:29.06] Once, I was 20 years old

[01:31.81] (Lukas Graham!)

[01:37.81] I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure

[01:41.31] 'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major

[01:45.31] I got my boys with me, at least those in favor

[01:49.56] And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later

[01:53.31] Once, I was 20 years old, my story got told

[01:55.55] I was writing 'bout everything, I saw before me

[02:00.56] Once, I was 20 years old

[02:09.31] Soon, we'll be 30 years old, our songs have been sold

[02:14.31] We've traveled around the world, and we're still roaming

[02:17.31] Soon, we'll be 30 years old

[02:26.06] I'm still learning about life, my woman brought children for me

[02:29.81] So I can sing them all my songs, and I can tell them stories

[02:33.56] Most of my boys are with me, some are still out seeking glory

[02:37.56] And some I had to leave behind, my brother, I'm still sorry

[02:41.31] Soon, I'll be 60 years old, my daddy got 61

[02:45.31] Remember life and then your life becomes a better one

[02:49.81] I made the man so happy when I wrote a letter once

[02:53.56] I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month

[02:57.06] Soon, I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold?

[03:01.31] Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?

[03:04.81] Soon, I'll be 60 years old

[03:13.06] Soon, I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold?

[03:17.56] Or will I have a lot of children who can hold me?

[03:21.06] Soon, I'll be 60 years old

[03:29.31] Once, I was seven years old, my mama told me

[03:33.56] "Go make yourself some friends, or you'll be lonely"

[03:37.31] Once, I was seven years old

[03:40.31] Once, I was seven years old
