Lukas Graham - 7 Years (Lyrics)

[00:00:01][music] [music] [music] >> Once I was [singing] 7 years old, my mama told me, "Go make yourself some friends [music] or you'll be [singing] lonely." Once I was 7 years old.

[00:00:30]>> [music] >> It was a big, [singing] big world, [music] but we thought we were bigger.

[00:00:37]Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker. By 11, smoking [music and singing] herb and drinking burning liquor. Never rich, so we were out to make that steady bigger. Once I was 11 years [music and singing] old, my daddy told me, "Go get yourself a wife or [singing] you'll be lonely." Once I was 11 years old. [music] >> [music] >> I always had that dream like my daddy before me. So, I started writing songs, I started writing stories. [music] Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me cuz only [music] those I really love will never be lonely. Once I was 20 years old, my story got [music] told before the morning sun when life was lonely. Once I was 20 years [singing] old.

[00:01:33]>> [music] >> I only see my goals, [music and singing] I don't believe in failure cuz I know the smallest voices they can [music] make it major. I got my boys with me, at least those in [music] 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 [music] told. I was right about everything I saw before me. Once I was 20 years old.

[00:02:09]>> [music] >> Soon we'll be 30 years old. Songs have been sold. [music] We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming.

[00:02:16][singing] Soon we'll be [music] 30 years old.

[00:02:25]I'm still learning about life. My woman [music] brought children for me so I can sing them all my songs and I can tell them stories. [music] Most of my boys are with me. Some are still out seeking glory and some [music] I had to leave behind. My brother, I'm still savvy.

[00:02:41]Soon I'll be 60 years old. My daddy got 61. [music] Remember life and then your life becomes a better one. I [music] made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once. I hope my [music] children come and visit once or twice a month. Soon I'll be 60 years old. Will I >> [music] >> think the world is cold? I will I have a lot of children who can warm me. Soon I'll be 60 [music] years old.

[00:03:11]>> [music] >> Soon I'll be 60 years old.
