29 7 years diska kantatha minn Lukas Graham Diski b˙al din huma kapaçi jfakkruna sewwa sew fir-realta’ li g˙exna u qed ng˙ixu fiha llum. Kul˙add ji©i f'din id-dinja bit-tama li nimxu fit-triq it-tajba u navvanzaw fl-ambizzjonijiet tag˙na iΩda façli iktar tg˙idha milli twettaqha. Óafna drabi nassoçjaw l-adoloxxenza ma' ˙afna taqlib u turbulenza emozzjonali g˙aliex façli li f’ dan il-perjodu ikun hemm min, bi ˙sara g˙alih innifsu, jaqa’ g˙al xi vizzju. Barra minn hekk il-"peer pressure" tkun qawwija mmens u din kapaçi t˙awwad il-valuri morali kollha li persuna tkun tg˙allmet sa minn çkunitha sabiex tog˙©ob lil s˙abha. Din hi ˙asra kbira! Il-lirika ta' din id-diska tfiehem dan kollu li g˙idt minn lenti ta' esperjenza personali tal-kantant famuΩ. Minkejja dan kollu, l-punt li nixtieq naqsam mag˙kom hu li b˙ala komunita’ nisranija, g˙andna nag˙mlu mezz biex lil dawn l-adoloxxenti nfehmuhom li quddiem Alla m’hemmx bΩonn li timpressjona u li til˙aq çertu livelli kif tirrikjedi s-soçjeta taghna llum 'il-©urnata. Je˙tie© nitg˙allmu ng˙ixu l-˙ajja b’ aktar sempliçita’ u ng˙ixu jum b’ jum. 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....
