7 Years
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics

Once I was seven years old my momma told me
My momma told me to make friends because she didn't want me to be lonely when I was seven years old.

Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
My momma told me to make friends so that I wouldn't be lonely.

Once I was seven years old
When I was seven years old I was told to make friends to avoid loneliness.

It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger
Although the world was large, we believed we were greater than it.

Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker
We motivated each other to the extreme, so we learned things fast.

By eleven hanging out and thinking we were slicker
At eleven, we spent time together and felt like we were clever.

Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure
Since we were not wealthy, we endeavored to build a strong and dependable future.

Once I was eleven years old my daddy told me
When I was eleven, my daddy instructed me to find a wife or I'd be alone.

Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely
My father told me to find a wife to avoid being isolated.

I always had that dream like my daddy before me
My dream was similar to my father's dream.

So I started writing songs, I started writing stories
I began writing songs and stories to fulfill my aspiration.

Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me
Gaining glory never fascinated me at all.

'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me
I believe that only my loved ones will truly comprehend me.

Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
When I turned twenty, my story was recounted.

Before the morning sun, when life was lonely
During the dark moments of my lonely life, before the sun rose.

I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure
I focus on my objectives and reject the possibility of defeat.

'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major
I understand that even if the voices are not loud, they can create a significant impact.

I got my boys with me at least those in favor
I have my friends with me, at least the ones who support me.

And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later
If we don't have a chance to meet before I depart, I hope to see you again in the future.

I was writing about everything, I saw before me
I was composing my thoughts on everything I perceived at that time.

Soon we'll be thirty years old, our songs have been sold
We're nearing thirty years old, and our songs have been bought by others.

We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming
We've journeyed all over the world and are still wandering.

I'm still learning about life
I'm continuously gaining knowledge about life.

I hope I have children for me?
I hope to have children of my own in the future.

So I can sing them all my songs and I can tell them stories
So that I can teach them all my songs and narrate tales to them.

Most of my boys are with me some are still out seeking glory
Most of my male friends are with me, but some are still trying to gain fame.

And some I had to leave behind my brother I'm still sorry
I had to abandon some of my friends, and my brother, I still feel remorseful for that.

Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
Recall your life, and your life will become improved.

I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
A man was delighted when I wrote him a letter on a certain occasion.

I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month
I anticipate that my future children will visit me once or twice each month.

Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold
In the near future, at sixty years old, will I consider the world harsh?

Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
Or will I have numerous children who will provide me with comfort?

Once I was seven years old
When I was seven years old, my mother taught me the importance of making friends.

Once I was seven years old
At seven years old, I was taught about making friends by my mother.
