Once I was 7 years old
My mama told me
You can make your life as big as any story
Once I was 7 years old

It was a big big world
But we thought we were bigger
Thought we could pray away
The things that made our mama sicker
My sister tried protecting me
When she was just 11
Thought we could use our colored pencils
To discover heaven

Once I was 11 years old
My daddy told me
Go get yourself some dreams and chase 'em
Once I was 11 years old

I always had that dream
Like my daddy before me
So I started writing melodies
To sing my story
Something about small town
Just always seemed to bore me
'Cause those who loved me
Told me I could have a bigger glory

Once I was 20 years old
My story untold
Suffocated by the terror deep inside me
Once I was 20 years old

Nobody ever came
And gave me fortune or fame
I started thinking that
My dream was just a dumb game
I prayed to god and said
Please tell me what to do, sir
And I was told to keep on
Living for the future

Once I was 20 years old
A tired soul
Keeping bottled up belief that I was worth it
Once I was 20 years old

Now I'm 30 years old
My songs have been sold
To a couple hundred people who will listen
Now I'm 30 years old

Grimme got shot backstage
Who wants to be a target?
Who wants to cry at night
About how far they did not get?
I am satisfied to say I live for passion
I didn't listen to the voice
That told me I should ration
My happiness to the clouds
'Cause I am living now
And I don't have to be a super-star to sing it out

Soon I'll be 40 years old
My mama got 41
Remember life and then
Your life becomes a better one
It changed my life forever
When I read a letter once
I hope my family knows
I love them more than anyone

Soon I'll be 60 years old
Will I think the world's cold?
Or will I have the love that lived his life beside me?
Soon I'll be 60 years old
