About Song:
Frontman Lukas Graham Forchhammer described "7 Years" as a song about his life so far and what he hopes to achieve in the future. He said that the reason the lyrics go as far as the age of 60 is because his father died at 61 and he needed to "pass it to believe it." He continued: "It's a song about growing older. I'm also coming to a realisation that being a father is the most important thing. My biggest dream is not to be some negative old dude, but to have my kids' friends say, 'You're going to visit your dad? Say hi! He’s awesome.' I had a perfect father."
Lyrics:
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 oldIt was a big big world, but we thought we were biggerPushing each other to the limits, we were learning quickerBy eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquorNever rich so we were out to make that steady figureOnce I was eleven years old. My daddy told me,"Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely."Once I was eleven years oldI always had that dream like my daddy before meSo I started writing songs, I started writing storiesSomething about that glory,Just always seemed to bore me'Cause only those I really love will ever really know meOnce I was twenty years old.My story got toldBefore the morning sun, when life was lonelyOnce I was twenty years old(Lukas Graham!)I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure'Cause I know the smallest voices. They can make it majorI got my boys with me at least those in favorAnd if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you laterOnce I was twenty years old.My story got toldI was writing about everything I saw before meOnce I was twenty years oldSoon we'll be thirty years old,Our songs have been soldWe've traveled around the world and we're still roamingSoon we'll be thirty years oldI'm still learning about lifeMy woman brought children for meSo I can sing them all my songsAnd I can tell them storiesMost of my boys are with meSome are still out seeking gloryAnd some I had to leave behindMy brother I'm still sorrySoon I'll be sixty years old, my daddy got sixty-oneRemember life and then your life becomes a better oneI made a man so happy when I wrote a letter onceI hope my children come and visit once or twice a month[2x]Soon I'll be sixty years old,Will I think the world is coldOr will I have a lot of children who can warm me?Soon I'll be sixty years oldOnce 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
SHARING IS CARING
