7 years

I was driving home from work two Monday's ago and I decided to turn on Top 50 hits on Spotify. I was just cruising along and this song came on. I wasn't pay attention but the second verse caught my attention. So I pushed the back button so I could relisten to it. I swear to God....I listened this song 6 times on my way home. And since then, probably like 100 times! I love it so much. 

 It's called 7 years and it's by Lukas Graham.

Here are the lyrics: 

Once I was 7 years old, my mama told me,

Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely,

Once I was 7 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

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

'cus 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,

'cus I know the smallest voices, they can make it major,

I got my boys with me, at least those in favour

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 about everything I saw before me

Once I was 20 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

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'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 7 years old, my mama told me

Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely

Once I was 7 years old,

Once I was 7 years old.

 

Don't you just love it?
