7 years - Lukas Graham (sped up)

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 (Lukas Graham!) 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 twenty years old, my story got told I was writing 'bout everything I saw before me Once I was twenty years old Soon we'll be thirty years old, our songs have been sold We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming Soon we'll be thirty 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 sixty years old, my daddy got sixty-one 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 sixty 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 sixty years old Soon I'll be sixty 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 sixty 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

Really reminds me of my childhood

Just turned 16 and realizing how fast I grew up and I’m basically done with my childhood only two more years

this song gives me such strength to continue to publish my own book and to ignore my chronic illness. A beautiful remix!

this hits different when u had a tough childhood.

2:10 man this part gives me goosebumps

"I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure cause I know the smallest voices can make it major 💯" My favorite part of the song💜🎵

I'm 13, I dont know if my life has just started or ended. I just love this song❤

"I hope my children come and visit me once or twice a month". That hit.

Sad fact: We all were excited to grow up when we were children but when you know about what ur parents go or went through you realize it’s not fun growing up...

this song was my childhood

Ill just rant here. This song reminds me of my sister. When i was younger, my parents worked alot. my mom recently got out of a divorce, which was my sisters father, and then remarried in 2009 to my dad. I was born a year later, anyway. My mom was working 70 hours a week, and my dad worked in a different country. i never would see my parents. My brother had already moved out, and it was just my sister and i.She basically raised me, while she was going through highschool. In 2016, my parents stopped working so much, my sister was graduating. I didnt want her to leave, she was moving 4 hours away. As she walked out the door, i remembered all of our memories, this song was always playing when i cried. This was my favorite song, along with starships, and call me,maybe. I learned this song by heart, and my sister recorded me singing and sent it to my dad, who was in Russia working. It was hard moving on from my sister leaving. My moms sister died that year, which she did not come out of her room for a week. i barely ate. my dad wasnt at home, i didnt know how to cook. My sister would come visit me every 3 days. Later the same year, my grandma died infront of me, She told me; `Always hold those who you love the most close, you never know when they could dissapear.` that next day, we found her dead. My mom was already in a deep depression, i stayed with my sister for a week. I walked in on my sister crying, i sang this to her. I will never forget how much my sister raised me, i still feel guilty, as her teenage years were taken from her. Shes a mother of two kids now, but always remember, the closest ones to you could dissapear in a blink of an eye. Hug your animals, gaurdians, friends, ect. a little closer the next time you see them

1:12 has got me to believe in myself even more

"I only see my goals I dont believe in failure" Inspiring

I just turned 15 time has passed so fast my childhood is ending in 3 years this song reminded me that one day we will take our last breath . We all need to work on ourselves and our future because you only live once, thanks for the edit, the song is beautiful ❤️‍🩹🥺

"I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure 'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major" This mindset hits Different

When I was little I never new what the lyrics meant but now that I’m 13 it really makes me feel the nostalgia and makes me feel god hearing I only se my goals I don’t believe in failure

I'm leaving this comment here so that after a week or a month or a year when someone likes it, I'll get reminded of this masterpiece!🖤
