Songtexte 7 Years - (Later) [Live] - Lukas Graham

Do you remember this song?
Will you sing it with me?

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 11, smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
Never rich, so we were out to make that steady figure

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
And she's here, ladies and gentlemen

I always had that dream like my daddy before me
So I started writing songs, I started writing stories
Something about this glory, just always seemed to bore me
'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me

Once, I was 20 years old, my story got told
Before the morning sun, when life was lonely
Once, I was 20 years old

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

Once, I was 20 years old, my story got told
I was writing 'bout all the things I saw before me
Once, I was 20 years old

Soon, we'll be 30 years old, our songs have been sold
We've travelled around the world and we're still roaming
Soon, we'll be 30 years old
Once, we were 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
Some I had to leave behind, my brother, I'm still sorry

Soon, I'll be 60 years old, my daddy got 61
Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
I made the man so happy when I wrote a letter once
I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month

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
Ladies and gentlemen, make a noise for our boys

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

Once, I was seven years old
