7 Years - Lukas Graham (lyrics) Once I was seven years old, my mama told me \u0022Go make yourself some friends, or you\u0027ll be lonely\u0022 Once I was seven years old It was a big, big world, but we thought we were bigger Pushin\u0027 each other to the limits, we were learnin\u0027 quicker By 11, smokin\u0027 herb and drinkin\u0027 burnin\u0027 liquor Never rich, so we were out to make that steady figure Once I was 11 years old, my daddy told me \u0022Go get yourself a wife, or you\u0027ll be lonely\u0022 Once I was 11 years old I always had that dream, like my daddy before me So, I started writin\u0027 songs, I started writin\u0027 stories Somethin\u0027 about that glory, just always seemed to bore me \u0027Cause only those I really love will ever really know me Once I was 20 years old, my story got told Before the mornin\u0027 sun, when life was lonely Once I was 20 years old (Lukas Graham) I only see my goals, I don\u0027t believe in failure \u0027Cause 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\u0027t meet before I leave, I hope I\u0027ll see you later Once I was 20 years old, my story got told I was writin\u0027 \u0027bout everything I saw before me Once I was 20 years old Soon, we\u0027ll be 30 years old, our songs have been sold We\u0027ve traveled around the world, and we\u0027re still roamin\u0027 Soon, we\u0027ll be 30 years old I\u0027m still learnin\u0027 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\u0027m still sorry Soon, I\u0027ll 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 Soon, I\u0027ll 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\u0027ll be 60 years old Soon, I\u0027ll 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\u0027ll be 60 years old Once I was seven years old, my mama told me \u0022Go make yourself some friends, or you\u0027ll be lonely\u0022 Once I was seven years old Once I was seven years old
