7 years  Lukas Graham

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 the 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

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 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 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 bore 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 bore me
Soon I'll be 60 years old

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
七歲那一年  路卡斯葛拉漢合唱團

當我七歲的時候,媽媽告訴我
多交一些朋友,不然你會很孤單
在我七歲那一年

這是個廣闊的世界,但我們自以為更偉大
把彼此逼到極限,我們很快都學會了
在十一歲那一年,哈草、喝烈酒
從沒富有過,所以外出打工以求有穩定收入

當我十一歲時,爸爸告訴我
去為自己找個老婆,要不你會很寂寞
在我十一歲那一年

我老是做那一個夢,像我老爸一樣
於是我開始寫歌,開始寫故事
一些關於榮耀的題材,一直困擾著我的事
因為那些我真的愛上的人才會真的懂我

當我二十歲時,我的故事已在流傳
在旭日升起之前,在人生孤寂之時
在我二十歲那一年

我只看見我的目標,我不相信挫敗
因為我明白最微弱的聲音
也可以成就大事
我有一群朋友常伴左右,至少他們會為我讚聲
如果在我離開之前不能碰面
但願我以後能見到你

當我二十歲時,我的故事已在流傳
我正在寫從前我所見過的一切
在我二十歲那一年

很快的我們就要三十歲了
我們已賣掉許多歌
我們環遊過全世界,到如今還在四處流浪
很快的我們就要三十歲了

我依然在學習人生
我的妻子為我生兒育女
我才能為他們唱出我全部的歌
為他們講許多故事
大部分的弟兄們還是跟著我
有些還在外面追尋榮耀
有些我必須背棄他們
弟兄們,我還是覺得很抱歉

很快的我就六十歲了,我老爸還是六十一歲
牢記人生教訓,這樣你的人生會好過一些
我寫過一封信,讓他高興萬分

我企盼孩子們來探訪
每個月一、兩次就好
很快的,我就要六十歲了
是否我會認為這世界是冰冷的?
或者我會有一大群兒女來煩我?
很快的,我就要六十歲了
很快的,我就要六十歲了
是否我會認為世界是冰冷的?
或者我會有一大群兒女來煩我?
很快的,我就要六十歲了

當我七歲的時候,媽媽告訴我
多交一些朋友,要不然你會很孤單
在我七歲那一年
在我七歲那一年
