7 YEARS

Once I was seven years old, my mama told me,

"Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely."

Once I was seven years old

It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger

Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker

By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor

Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure

Once I was eleven years old, my daddy told me,

"Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely."

Once I was eleven years old

I always had that dream, like my daddy before me

So I started writing songs, I started writing stories

Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me

'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me

Once I was twenty years old, my story got told

Before the morning 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 voices, they can make it major

I got my boys with me, at least those in favor

And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later

Once I was twenty years old, my story got told

I was writing about everything I saw before me

Once I was twenty years old

Soon we'll be thirty years old, our songs have been sold

We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming

Soon we'll be thirty years old

I'm still learning about life

My woman brought children for me

So I can sing them all my songs

And I can tell them stories

Most of my boys are with me

Some are still out seeking glory

And some I had to leave behind

My brother, I'm still sorry

Soon I'll be sixty years old, my daddy got sixty-one

Remember life, and then your life becomes a better one

I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once

I hope my children come and visit once or twice a month

Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold

Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?

Soon I'll be sixty years old

Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold

Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?

Soon I'll be sixty years old

Once I was seven years old, my mama told me,

"Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely."

Once I was seven years old

Once I was seven years old

MAMA SAID

When Mama said that it was okay

Mama said that it was quite alright

Our kind of people had a bed for the night

And it was OK

Mama told us we are good kids

And daddy told us never listen to the ones

Pointing nasty fingers and making fun

'Cause we were good kids

Remember asking both my mom and dad

Why we never traveled to exotic lands

We only ever really visit friends

Nothing to tell when the summer ends

We never really went buying clothes

Folks were passing on this stuff in plenty loads

New shoes once a year and then

Out to play ball so we could ruin them

When mama said that it was okay

Mama said that it was quite alright

Our kind of people had a bed for the night

And it was OK

Mama told us we were good kids

And daddy told us never listen to the ones

Pointing nasty fingers and making fun

'Cause we were good kids

Don't get me wrong I didn't have it bad

I got enough loving from my mom and dad

But I don't think they really understood

When I said that I wanted the deal in Hollywood

I told them I'll be singing on TV

The other kids were calling me a wannabe

The older kids they started bugging me

But now they're all standing right in front of me

When mama said that it was okay

Mama said that it was quite alright

Our kind of people had a bed for the night

And it was OK

Mama told us we were good kids

And daddy told us never listen to the ones

Pointing nasty fingers and making fun

'Cause we were good kids

I know which place I'm from

I know my home

When I'm in doubt and struggling

That's where I go

An old friend can give advice

When new friends only know a half story

That's why I'm always keep them tight

And why I'm okay

... I said I'm OK

You know what my mama said

You know what she told me

My mama said that it was OK

Mama said that it was quite alright

Our kind of people had a bed for the night

And it was OK

Mama told us we were good kids

And daddy told us never listen to the ones

Pointing nasty fingers and making fun

'Cause we were good kids

Mama said that it was okay

Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba ba-ba,

Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba ba-ba,

Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba ba-ba

When mama said that it was okay

WHAT HAPPENED TO PERFECT

yang ni live...

I can see it in your eyes as I am stumbling home

You living with the man that you no longer know

You forgot to smile as I passed you by

Now we sitting down for dinner we got nothing to say

It's like I am watching you slowly slipping away

From me, from me

Remember when I used to make you laugh

And every joke was better than the last

Tell me how to bring you back to this

Maybe I just need to reminisce and work it out

What happened to perfect

What happened to us

We used to be worth it

We never gave up

It wasn't on purpose

But hurts like it was

Nobody deserves this

What happened to perfect

If you left me baby where would you go

I can't imagine you ever being alone

I am a jealous man but I try to understand

So many things to say I don't know where to start

I can't pick up the pieces of a crumbling heart

So true, so true

Remember when I used to make you laugh

And every joke was better than the last

Tell me how to bring you back to this

Maybe I just need to reminisce and work it out

What happened to perfect

What happened to us

We used to be worth it

We never gave up

It wasn't on purpose

But it hurts like it was

Nobody deserves this

What happened to perfect

What happened to perfect

What's under the surface

It used to be love

Would you call if you heard this

Would you know it was us

It wasn't on purpose

But it hurts like it was

Nobody deserves this

What happened to perfect

Nobody deserves this

I can see it in your eyes as I am stumbling home

You living with a man you no longer know

You forgot to smile

LUKAS FORCHHAMMER




Lukas Forchhammer (born 18 September 1988) is a Danish singer, songwriter and actor. He is the lead singer of the Danish band Lukas Graham, and starred in the Danish family movies Krummerne in his early years. Forchhammer grew up in an alternative community in the centre of Copenhagen called Freetown Christiania. He joined the Copenhagen Boys' Choir and developed not only an appreciation for classical music but a trained voice.

He became fascinated with his father's Irish roots, the country's folk music, as well as hip-hop -- "Dr. Dre's2001 changed my life," he said. His father was Irish and he spent half of his childhood in Ireland in Cork and Kilkenny, so he never felt Danish because of ExPat society. His grandfather was from Wicklow in Ireland.

YOU'RE NOT THERE

I only got you in my stories

And you know I tell them right

I remember you and I, when I'm awake at night

So give it up for fallen glory

I never got to say goodbye

I wish I could ask for just a bit more time

Every step I take, you used to lead the way

Now I'm terrified to face it on my own

You're not there

To celebrate the man that you made

You're not there

To share in my success and mistakes

Is it fair?

You'll never know the person I'll be

You're not there

With me

Though I know that you're not there

I still write you all these songs

It's like you got the right to know what's going on

As I struggle to remember how you used to look and sound

At times I still think I can spot you in the crowd

Every step I take, you used to lead the way

And now I'm terrified to face it on my own

You're not there

To celebrate the man that you made

You're not there

To share in my success and mistakes

Is it fair?

You'll never know the person I'll be

You're not there

With me

Time can heal your wounds if you're strong and standing tall

I've been doing all of that, it didn't help at all

They say, "You'll grow older, and it'll get better still."

Yes, I will, but no, it won't

They don't get it, 'cause

You're not there

To celebrate the man that you made

You're not there

To share in my success and mistakes

Is it fair?

You'll never know the person I'll be

You're not there

With me

The album's cover also has personal significance to Graham. It shows a young boy in what is presumably a museum, looking at a picture of a naked woman. The painting is an actual piece of artwork from a Copenhagen cafe where his parents took him for "fancy dinners" as a child.

"It was only after I was grown up that I realized that cafe wasn't a fancy restaurant — it wasn't expensive in any way," Graham says. "I grew up poor and never noticed that, so putting that picture on the cover is a tribute to my childhood. The picture also characterizes our music: naked and beautiful."

Last week, the band played South By Southwest in Austin and will next embark on a nearly sold-out North American tour, kicking off March 28 in West Hollywood. Graham says his band's roller-coaster year has been "amazing" so far, although he only wishes his dad was here to experience it.

"I have no doubts he'd be happy. He was a big supporter and he'd be proud of the way I'm doing it. It's a pity he can't see it."

HAPPY HOME

Mama called about the paper turns out they wrote about me
Now my broken heart's the only thing that's broke about me
So many people should have seen what we got going on
I only wanna put my heart and my life in songs
Writing about the pain I felt with my daddy gone
About the emptiness I felt when I sat alone
About the happiness I feel when I sing it loud
He should have heard the noise we made with the happy crowd
Did my grandaddy know he taught me what a poem was
How you can use a sentence or just a simple pause
What will I say when my kids ask me who my daddy was
I thought about it for a while and I'm at a loss
Knowing that I'm gonna live my whole life without him
I found out a lot of things I never knew about him
All I know is that I'll never really be alone
Cause we gotta lot of love and a happy home

Magazines are writing stuff but I don't ever read them
Some of the folks I used to know would see and start believing
That I would pass them by on streets and never reach to greet them
I still remember folks even though I rarely meet them
Don't you know I miss the times when we used to hang
Before twenty deep depended on a single man
Before a single heart was broken by a single blow
Before all our careers depended on a single show
I grew up with a lot of love in a happy home
Now I got a lot of cash and I'm on a road
I realize privacy's becoming difficult
It's all right now but what about when I'm old
I know my good friends now they'll last
The same ones that stood by me when my daddy passed
All I know is that we'll never really be alone
Cause we got a lot of love and a happy home

I write a lot of songs will anybody ever read them
You hear them on the radio but will you really read them
Why do we have our idols and why do we wanna be them
After we see them on TV we really wanna meet them
Don't you think they miss the times when they used to hang
Before a fan base depended on a single man
Before a single heart was broken by a single show
Who's gonna stand who's gonna fall I really wanna know
I grew up with a lot of love in a happy home
My daddy use to play me vinyl but now daddy's gone
I used to practice with my mommy on the piano
I still get nervous every time I know she's at a show
Now my family comes first before everyone
I had the perfect dad I wanna be the perfect son
Though I really feel sometimes I am on my own
I know I got a lot of love and a happy home

The lyrics to Danish band Lukas Graham's big hit of the year "7 Years" was inspired by the childhood of lead singer Lukas Graham Forchhammer.

The singer grew up in Christiania, a part of Copenhagen where many live by choice in ramshackle homes with no heat or bathrooms. The singer said that for years his house didn't even have indoor plumbing -- and he liked it that way.

Lukas Graham Performs Live on 'GMA'
"I remember getting a toilet in our house," Forchhammer, 27, told ABC News. "I remember sharing a bedroom with my sister and my little sister was sleeping in my mom and dad’s room. We had two bedrooms upstairs and one big room downstairs with kitchen [and] living room...I remember getting the toilet in the bathroom, and I found it so weird showering in our own house!"

Prior to that, Lukas said, he and his family would go to a public bathhouse, like everyone else in Christiania, which he enjoyed.

"Our bathhouse was awesome!" Lukas recalled. "You’d meet all your friends and your friends’ brothers and sisters. It was like a nudist, unisex bathhouse, three hot showers, two cold showers, a big wood-fired sauna -- like, luxury bath facilities. Like, we had a spa for a bathroom my whole childhood! And it was free for kids and you’d pay, like, one dollar for a grown-up."

Even now, as an international pop star, Lukas enjoys going back home and using the bathhouse.

"Now I think I pay four bucks for my bath, I pay two bucks for my towel. So six bucks, I get to use a sauna!" he raved. "I find it amazing."

Lukas admitted that his upbringing was a bit odd, though. For example, in progressive, liberal, Christiania, weed and hashish are used and sold freely. Hard drugs are banned, however.

"It’s very magical," said Lukas. "We have the lowest violence rate in the inner city because people there take care of each other and watch out for each other. But it’s a trippy place!"

BETTER THAN YOURSELF

I got the letter back

Saying I can come and see you

I really don't have time

But promised that I'd come and see you

You're sitting far away

But do you know I sometimes need you

I know that you deserve

The time you got of all the people

I know you never bent

Even in the strongest wind

I really wished to every God

That you were innocent

I'm happy and I'm proud

That I can still call you my friend

I hope you read the letters

And the magazines I send

You got your head up

But I don't have my hopes high

I know that you're a good man

And that's what, brings a tear to my eye

I'm like, oh

I hope you know you're not alone in that hell

And there ain't, no

No one can change it

No one can do it better but yourself

I was sixteen

And we used to roll together

You told me back then

That I was meant for something better

You know in our life

Nothing's gonna change but the weather

It seems it's been forever

Since we really stuck together

I'm living a crazy life

I wish that you could see it too

See a thousand people sing

My song from me to you

Every time I sing it

You know I'm bleeding too

Man I accept you as you are

No I don't need the truth

I got my head up

But I ain't got my hopes high

See I know that you're a good man

And it brings a tear to my eye

I'm like, oh...

I hope you know you're not alone in that hell

And there ain't, no

No one can change it

No one can do it better but yourself

I reminisce to back then, when it was you and I

Smoking big fat blunts, drive in movie night

They tried to get you down, but you refused to die

They tried to give you angel wings, but you refused to fly

You'd rather stay in hell, and take your time in jail

They're only punishing a soul that you will never sell

We both know that we owe nothing to each other

But can you blame me, for loving and missing my brother, oh

I hope you know you're not alone in that hell

And there ain't, no

No one can change it

No one can do it better but yourself, oh
