Once I was seven years old

Lucas Graham, 7 Years, revised

Once I was seven years old, my daddy told me You can be anything that you want to be. Once I was seven years old.

It was a big big world, and I felt so much smaller. The world was pushing my limits, at times I wanted to hide. By eleven worry and fear my self felt a divide
At times unsteady mama and daddy told me take deep breaths Once I was eleven years old, my mama told me Your daddy and I love you and we're here for you. Once I was eleven years old. I started to have that dream like my great grand-dad before me So I started thinking big, set my eyes across the sea Something about the challenge, just always seemed to draw me Cause only those I really love will ever really know me

Once I was twenty years old, my story started to unfold Before the Spanish 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 pushes, they can strengthen my spirit I got my friends with me at least those in favor
And if we don't meet before I leave, I know I'll see you later.

Once I was 20 years old, my story started to unfold I was thinking about everything, I saw before me Once I was 20 years old. Soon we'll be 40 years old, our stories still unfold I'm traveling around the world and I'm still roaming. Soon we'll be 40 years old. I'm still learning about life
My nieces bring me so much joy
Got so many friends who love me Now we're in each other's stories
Sweet nights with my grandmothers
Teach me so much of their wisdom
Fill me with faith and peace And remind me where I'm from

Soon I'll be 50 years old, my daddy got 58 Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
I make the man so happy when he sees me gettin' stronger
I hope that we will all meet again, once or twice on this path Soon I'll be 40 years old, will I think the world is cold
Or will I remember your beauty in the darkness Soon I'll be 50 years old Soon I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold Or will I remember your beauty in the darkness Soon I'll be 40 years old Once I was seven years old, my mama told me Your daddy and I love you and we're here for you. Once I was seven years old Once I was seven years old
