身為父親的第一個七年

今年是身為父親的第七個年頭，

婚姻或許可能會有七年之癢，

父親有的則是七年的感動與反省，

感動的是與孩子的相伴與相愛，

反省的則是一言難盡。

孩子即將迎來自己人生的第一個七年，

希望孩子這七年有感到幸福快樂。

走過六個七年的平凡父親，知道往後的每個七年，

快樂愈來愈不容易，悲傷、憤怒、壓力則是愈來愈強，

但還是希望孩子未來能持續保持幸福快樂。

無論未來七年、十四年或更多的七年，

父親會竭盡所能地守護妳，

是父親的浪漫，也是父親的幸福。

7 Years (Lukas Graham)

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 11, smoking herb and drinking burning liquor

Never rich, so we were out to make that steady figure

Once, I was 11 years old, my daddy told me

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

Once, I was 11 years old

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 ever really know me

Once, I was 20 years old, my story got told

Before the morning sun, when life was lonely

Once, I was 20 years old

(Lukas Graham!)

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 20 years old, my story got told

I was writing 'bout everything, I saw before me

Once, I was 20 years old

Soon, we'll be 30 years old, our songs have been sold

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

Soon, we'll be 30 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 60 years old, my daddy got 61

Remember life and then your life becomes a better one

I made the 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 60 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 60 years old

Soon, I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold?

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

Soon, I'll be 60 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
