Lukas Graham - 7 Year (Rewrite Cover) lyrics

[Chorus 1] Once I was seven years old and my mama told me to be the kindest girl that I could be Once I was seven years old [Verse 1] This is a scary world, I didn't let that phase me We put our brave face on from the morning til the evening And by eleven I learnt words that hurt more than bruises Life is a restless game, we're tryin not to lose it [Chorus 2] Once I was eleven years old, my daddy told me - my heart had to be the prettiest thing about me Once I was eleven years old [Verse 2] I've always dreamt so big, and I'm a keep on dreaming And in a hopeless world, I've always kept believing, I've always kept on breathing, always kept achieving Despite the sticks and stones, I will not be defeated [Chorus 3] Soon I'll be twenty years old and my brothers told me to hold the ones who love me most so closely Soon I'll be twenty years old [Verse 3] I wanna make a change, make this place a little better We need to live within a world where everybody matters No, I don't wanna see anyone's sons or daughters cryin, cause they don't fit in with what society has taught them [Chorus 4] Soon I'll be twenty years old and my friends have told me to keep my chin up when my tears are streaming Soon I'll be twenty years old [Chorus 5] Soon we'll be thirty years old, what will our lives hold? Will I be satisfied with all that surrounds me? Soon I'll be thirty years old [Verse 4] No matter how old we are age is just a number It's never too late to love To reach or care for each other To forgive a brother, or to find a lover Life is a mystery waiting to be discovered [Bridge] Soon I'll be sixty years old, my life will be a story Where my children tell their children about me I'll watch a generation rise up to change the nation, the past lays down foundations for the future celebrations [Chorus 6] Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I be all alone cause I never valued what was all around me? Soon I'll be sixty years old [Chorus 7 Soon I'll be sixty years old, and God will show me that he was by my side through my every heartbeat Yeah [Chorus 1 recap] Once I was seven years old and my mama told me to be the kindest girl that I could be Once I was seven years old Yeah Once I was seven years old
