Lyrical Analysis of...

7 Years

  1. (Chorus)
  2. Once I was seven years old, my mama told me, "go make yourself some friends, or you'll be lonely"
  3. Once, I was seven years old
  4.  
  5. (Verse 1)
  6. It was a big, big world, but we thought we were bigger
  7. Pushin' each other to the limits, we were learnin' quicker
  8. By 11, smokin' herb and drinkin', burnin' liquor
  9. Never rich, so we were out to make that steady figure
  10.  
  11. (Chorus)
  12. Once I was 11 years old, my daddy told me, "go get yourself a wife, or you'll be lonely"
  13. Once, I was 11 years old
  14.  
  15. (Verse 2)
  16. I always had that dream like my daddy before me
  17. So I started writin' songs, I started writin' stories
  18. Somethin' about that glory just always seemed to 'bore me
  19. 'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me
  20.  
  21. (Chorus)
  22. Once I was 20 years old, my story got told
  23. Before the mornin' sun, when life was lonely
  24. Once, I was 20 years old
  25. (Lukas Graham!)
  26.  
  27. (Verse 3)
  28. I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure
  29. 'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major
  30. I got my boys with me, at least those in favor
  31. And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later
  32.  
  33. (Chorus)
  34. Once I was 20 years old, my story got told, I was writin' 'bout everything I saw before me
  35. Once, I was 20 years old
  36. Soon, we'll be 30 years old, our songs have been sold
  37. We've traveled around the world, and we're still roamin'
  38. Soon, we'll be 30 years old
  39.  
  40. (Verse 4)
  41. I'm still learnin' about life, my woman brought children for me
  42. So I can sing them all my songs, and I can tell them stories
  43. Most of my boys are with me, some are still out seeking glory
  44. And some I had to leave behind, my brother, I'm still sorry
  45.  
  46. (Chorus)
  47. Soon, I'll be 60 years old, my daddy got 61, remember life and then your life becomes a better one
  48. I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
  49. I hope my children come and visit once or twice a month
  50. Soon, I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold?
  51. Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?
  52. Soon, I'll be 60 years old
  53. Soon, I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold?
  54. Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?
  55. Soon, I'll be 60 years old
  56.  
  57. (Coda)
  58. Once I was seven years old, my mama told me, "go make yourself some friends, or you'll be lonely"
  59. Once, I was seven years old
  60. Once, I was seven years old
