7 Years (Seven Years) - Tribute to Lukas Graham - Billboard Masters

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 that 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.

once I was twenty 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, 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

Once I was seven years old
