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