From Songs To Stories

7 Years

Song: 7 Years
Artist: Lukas Graham

"I find it amazing how I can remember the pass twenty years like they where yesterday" he said as he stood on stage.
"would you mind telling us how you started" one of the reporters asked, he nodded and stood there for moment, "when.... Once...once I was seven years old my momma told me
Go make some friends or you'll be lonely. When I made friends we realized It was a big, big world, but we thought we were bigger,
Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker.
Somewhere around eleven years old my daddy told me
Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely.
I always had that dream like my daddy before me.
So I started writing songs, I started writing stories
Something about the glory, just always seemed to bore me
Cause only those I really love will only really know me." the reporters recorded or wrote down what he said as others took pictures.
"Once I was twenty years old my story got told.".
A reporter than asked "what do you think will happen once you get older?" murmurs then came from the audience "I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure and soon my friends, my love and I will soon be thirty years old, our songs have been sold
We've traveled around the world and we're still rolling.
I mean I'm still learning about life my woman brought children for me
So I can sing them all my songs
and tell them stories.
Most of my friends are with me
some are still out seeking glory
And some I had to leave behind I'm still sorry.
But soon I'll be sixty years old, and I wonder if I'll think the world is cold
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me, so if those are all the questions you have for me then I'll be on my way." he said as he tipped the tip of his black hat, his brown hair wrinkling under the hat,
and walked away putting his hands in the pockets of his grey jeans,
his white sleeved shirt folding a bit, and his black sneakers clicking everytime they hit the floor as he left.

A/N sorry if it's short or if it sucks but the song is just amazing and gives me a new idea of what he means or how he feels but I hope you guys and gals like this one.
