Once i was 7 years old My momma told me go, make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely Once i was 7 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 we all wanted to grow older quicker And all our lives we couldn't wait until our senior year Once i was 11 years old My daddy told me don't, live your life too fast or you'll regret it Once i was 11 years old I always had that dream, since my freshmen year, to walk across the stage and hear all of the claps and cheers I don't what happened but now I'm right here It all went by so fast and now it just seems too surreal Now that we're seniors we're grown And i, want to thank everyone who, came in my life and made high school a great one Now that we're seniors we're grown I know the future is scary, and it's hard to be ready cause all the possibilities, I know that there's so many But no matter how it goes, i hope that everybody knows That you all mean so much to me and you're my future goals Soon we'll be getting our degrees and we'll, have our own house keys And we'll be telling high school stories to our families Soon we'll be getting our degrees And It's a big big world, we may not all stick together But I know that every one of you, I will remember And i wont forget how you changed my life for the better So i won"t tell you good bye, i'll just say see you later Now that we're seniors look around we've, made our parents proud we’ve Worked so hard and now we get our cap and gown Now that we're seniors look around Now that we're seniors look around we've, made our parents proud we’ve Worked so hard and now we get our cap and gown Now that we're seniors look around Once i was 7 years old My momma told me go, make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely Once i was 7 years old Once i was 7 years old

@maryryanroman23995 жыл бұрын
Skylar S I often wonder what happened to some of my childhood friends. Where are they today? Are they happy and successful? Are they even still alive? That's why I like FB, because a lot of times you are able to track childhood friends down and reconnect. But if they're not on FB, then it's very difficult to find anything out about them. I had a lot of really strong childhood friendships. I spent all of elementary, junior high (as it used to be called) and high school with the same group of kids, because we all lived in the same area in the same neighborhood. You literally grow up together. Then it becomes difficult when they start to move away or go away to college. 13 years together with the same kids. I guess that's why people attend their high school and college reunions...to reconnect. Good times and great memories from my childhood school days. ♥️

@extraterrestrialhorse97225 жыл бұрын
Extraterrestrial Horse I'm glad my words really mean something to you. I had a great childhood, had lots of really good friends, and I miss those days a lot. And when you're growing up and enjoying your classmates, who are also your friends, you don't realise how important they end up being one day. You don't think about it during that time, and take it for granted. It's years later, after everyone has moved away, that you realise how valuable they are and how much you miss them. It's not common for someone as young as you to realise this at just 17 years old. You must be an old soul. All I can say is, value your friends and make a real effort to keep in touch after high school with the ones who really mean something to you. You are fortunate, because with today's technology, it's extremely easy now to keep in touch. Lastly, enjoy every minute of your youth, because it goes by mighty fast. I did listen to Ed Sheeran's song, " Castle on the Hill". You are right...it is exactly about those wonderful childhood moments we all end up missing dearly.

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 we all wanted to grow older quicker. And all our lives we couldn’t wait until our senior year. Once I was eleven years old, my daddy told me, “don’t live your life too fast or you’ll regret it.” Once I was eleven years old. I always had that dream since my freshman year, to walk across this stage and hear all the claps and cheers. I don’t know what happened but now I’m right here, it all went by so fast and now it just seems so surreal. Now we’re seniors we’ve grown, and I want to thank everyone who came in my life and made my school a grapevine. Now we’re seniors we’ve grown… I know the future’s scary and it’s [hard to be many] because all the possibilities, Lord knows they’re so many. But no matter how it goes, I hope that everybody knows that you all mean so much to me I know my future goes. Soon we’ll be getting our degrees and we’ll have our own house keys and we’ll be telling high school stories to our families soon we’ll be getting our degrees. And it’s a big, big world, we may not all stick together, but I know that every one of you, I will remember. And I won’t forget how you changed my life for the better, so I won’t tell you goodbye, I’ll just say see you later. Now, seniors, look around, we’ve made our parents proud, we’ve worked so hard and now we get our cap and gown. Now uh… seniors, look around. Now, seniors, look around, we’ve made our parents proud, we’ve worked so hard and now we get our cap and gown. Now, seniors, look around… 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…

We did in the end, and this video just encapsulates what high school is all about. You’re forced to be around people you wouldn’t normally be, but you learn from each other and grow together. There’s a special bond formed from being around each other every day at that age, and this man’s beautiful voice and lyrics portrayed that perfectly.

I think of few of the educators were getting in their feels. He did a wonderful job. Nice & smooth.
the video is 7 years old....
I just noticed 😮
😮
Soo ironic 😅
Absolutely crazy right!!
Exactly what I was about to write
"By eleven we all wanted to grow older quicker" Damn, if you say you don't relate to this, you lie.
Rasmus Nielsen and now that I’m a junior I wanna stay young with all my friends and when ever I think about when I graduate I cry bc ik I won’t be seeing a lot of them anymore
Nah I'm 12 and I never wanna grow up
I kinda relate to it. But as a kid I knew I didn’t wanna grow up. Shit is scary man 😔
@@chilldoc9638 ...cause you are no longer 11... haha.
ChillDoc Peter Pan ? Is it you???
The fact this was posted “7 years ago” iconic 😂
Yes
Lol
Thala?
Yesss
Yes sir, imagine him watching this video today in 2024. Man, life is too short to waste time living a single day with a frown. Smile brother, be happy like you were when you were 7 years old. Big hug Brazil. 😃
Once i was 7 years old My momma told me go, make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely Once i was 7 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 we all wanted to grow older quicker And all our lives we couldn't wait until our senior year Once i was 11 years old My daddy told me don't, live your life too fast or you'll regret it Once i was 11 years old I always had that dream, since my freshmen year, to walk across the stage and hear all of the claps and cheers I don't what happened but now I'm right here It all went by so fast and now it just seems too surreal Now that we're seniors we're grown And i, want to thank everyone who, came in my life and made high school a great one Now that we're seniors we're grown I know the future is scary, and it's hard to be ready cause all the possibilities, I know that there's so many But no matter how it goes, i hope that everybody knows That you all mean so much to me and you're my future goals Soon we'll be getting our degrees and we'll, have our own house keys And we'll be telling high school stories to our families Soon we'll be getting our degrees And It's a big big world, we may not all stick together But I know that every one of you, I will remember And i wont forget how you changed my life for the better So i won"t tell you good bye, i'll just say see you later Now that we're seniors look around we've, made our parents proud we’ve Worked so hard and now we get our cap and gown Now that we're seniors look around Now that we're seniors look around we've, made our parents proud we’ve Worked so hard and now we get our cap and gown Now that we're seniors look around Once i was 7 years old My momma told me go, make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely Once i was 7 years old Once i was 7 years old
Thanks for the lyrics! I'm not a native speaker so I couldn't hear everything clearly but with your comment I still understood everything 😊
@@justme3253 how do you write so well then
@@sebbizz3101 because for me writing and especially reading are easier than listening or speaking. But thanks for the compliment :)
Thank you so much for the lyrics!!❤️
Wow awesome! Thank you for the lyrics!
I loved how he changed the words to match his own life and make it really relatable. This gave me chills and made me realize how fast live actually goes by.
Life*
Fr I’m a senior in high school and the last 4 years have flown by, so many good memories and honestly make me emotional
That was just censoring
it actually pissed me odd
It made me too realized how fast it’s going by.
This song makes you see how fast life goes by.
i’m 3 years late but for real
@@Maya-ev5iy I forgot I had this comment XD
It does i was depressed because I just have 1 week for school and I won’t go back
This is very true
Yesh
Man, he probably made all the parents tear up and definitely a lot of the students
Facts, I'm 44yrs old and it made me tear up! Life goes by in the blink of an eye.
if this was sung during my graduation, i would definitely burst into tears
affirmative
Big time
Mad respect for him, singing in front of his friends and everyone in the gymnasium.
I would be so nervous
@@andrewdigiambattista487I would shit myself
auditorium i believe but close enough
when he starts singing again at 2:41 it makes me so emotional because the people you're friends with in your school days you don't always keep in touch with a lot of the people that were your friends
Skylar S so true. So sad, and so true.
Skylar S I often wonder what happened to some of my childhood friends. Where are they today? Are they happy and successful? Are they even still alive? That's why I like FB, because a lot of times you are able to track childhood friends down and reconnect. But if they're not on FB, then it's very difficult to find anything out about them. I had a lot of really strong childhood friendships. I spent all of elementary, junior high (as it used to be called) and high school with the same group of kids, because we all lived in the same area in the same neighborhood. You literally grow up together. Then it becomes difficult when they start to move away or go away to college. 13 years together with the same kids. I guess that's why people attend their high school and college reunions...to reconnect. Good times and great memories from my childhood school days. ♥️
@@maryryanroman2399 I wish I spent more time making powerful memories instead of what I did that last 5 years. I'm now 17, but I have been thinking alot about life recently. I cannot agree any more with your beautiful comment. It's true what you said. All of it. You should hear Ed Sheeran's "Castle on the Hill". It's a song that deals with exactly that.
Extraterrestrial Horse I'm glad my words really mean something to you. I had a great childhood, had lots of really good friends, and I miss those days a lot. And when you're growing up and enjoying your classmates, who are also your friends, you don't realise how important they end up being one day. You don't think about it during that time, and take it for granted. It's years later, after everyone has moved away, that you realise how valuable they are and how much you miss them. It's not common for someone as young as you to realise this at just 17 years old. You must be an old soul. All I can say is, value your friends and make a real effort to keep in touch after high school with the ones who really mean something to you. You are fortunate, because with today's technology, it's extremely easy now to keep in touch. Lastly, enjoy every minute of your youth, because it goes by mighty fast. I did listen to Ed Sheeran's song, " Castle on the Hill". You are right...it is exactly about those wonderful childhood moments we all end up missing dearly.
Skylar S bro I know right I’m barely gonna enter my sophomore year and it’s crazy to think that in 2 more years my friend group won’t be completely together
Just passed out this year ... Lifes hard just pray to God and move forward 🙌
Yes sir, imagine him watching this video today in 2024. Man, life is too short to waste time living a single day with a frown. Smile brother, be happy like you were when you were 7 years old. Big hug Brazil. 😃
Forget that degree son....and start a music career! That was unreal! Give that dude a record deal RIGHT NOW...what a voice!
You realize record deals are for people who write their own material right? This is a cover, a damn good one though.
Rez well it's more of a parody
@@saad25saad parody's are exaggerations for humor. This didn't have any exaggeration or humor, but had heart, therefore not a parody.
@@Studio2770 kinda cover not really because he changed the lyrics so it's more of a parody
@@insomnijinx113 if this was a humorous version of the original, then yes, but it's not, therefore not a parody.
He kinda sounds like the original singer
Kind of looks like him too.
He does right?
@@juanamaro5447 ligist ärligt utpipköpäåipliålåpu
I know
He is a million times better than Lewis capaldi..I think is the original singers name..I always come back to this version, I honestly would buy it if he recorded it ..outstanding..and the change of the words to suit the situation..
I'm 75 and I relate to this young man. I too was 7 years old once. And the memories are like a kaleidoscope. Tempus fugit.
Thats a slang word back then no?
@@Ora-id2ry what do you mean by slang. Tempus fugit means "time flies" in Latin. A scholarly language.
Hello Mr/Mrs.Suzie, how are you ?😄
Those teachers behind him holding their tears😭
It's so hard to think that after we graduate, half of our friends, we won't ever see again. All this work and strain we went through together, and we just lose it. Nothing but memories.
Didn’t see the kid that said hi
I’m depressed it’s impossible to find the kid
I haven't talked to a single friend from high school since the day after graduation. They all went off to SDSU or some other college out of state. It's really sad honestly, I hung out with them everyday for 4 years and now nothing
Damn!! I don't even have any friends...
Thats true i dont see alot my friends
Hey!! I’m the singer in this vid, I was just wondering if you include my name in the title (JonPaul (JP) Wallace)? :)
JonPaul Wallace Yes sir I can. I had sent you a message when you first did this on I believe Instagram letting you know I posted this and sent the link. I believe you replied but that was 4 years ago ish
HemiJay thank you so much!!!🙏😁
This was beautifully done, JP. Your name deserves to be in many more places than this title.
JonPaul Wallace your awesome
JonPaul Im really depressed I’m sophomore right I have to enjoy the years before I graduate I feel very depressed I been lonely since freshmen
I'm a grown 35 year old man shedding a few tears listening to this. I can't believe it's been almost twenty years
i know!! truly feels like it was yesterday! class of 05'
I was in the ‘82 class
My 50th high school reunion is this year 🤔🤦♀️. 🤔🤔 I’m wondering if there are even a dozen of us left?🤦♀️🤔. There were over 500 in my graduating class
Thank you KZhead for recommending this video ... damn been 6.5 years already since I graduated high school . And 2 years since I finished my time in the marine corps. I can't even believe how fast time flies. I still feel 16. I miss the old days. The days are long but the years are short. What's even more surreal is those who have passed on and will be forever young .. hope you're still singing wherever you are JP.
It goes by faster each year.
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 we all wanted to grow older quicker. And all our lives we couldn’t wait until our senior year. Once I was eleven years old, my daddy told me, “don’t live your life too fast or you’ll regret it.” Once I was eleven years old. I always had that dream since my freshman year, to walk across this stage and hear all the claps and cheers. I don’t know what happened but now I’m right here, it all went by so fast and now it just seems so surreal. Now we’re seniors we’ve grown, and I want to thank everyone who came in my life and made my school a grapevine. Now we’re seniors we’ve grown… I know the future’s scary and it’s [hard to be many] because all the possibilities, Lord knows they’re so many. But no matter how it goes, I hope that everybody knows that you all mean so much to me I know my future goes. Soon we’ll be getting our degrees and we’ll have our own house keys and we’ll be telling high school stories to our families soon we’ll be getting our degrees. And it’s a big, big world, we may not all stick together, but I know that every one of you, I will remember. And I won’t forget how you changed my life for the better, so I won’t tell you goodbye, I’ll just say see you later. Now, seniors, look around, we’ve made our parents proud, we’ve worked so hard and now we get our cap and gown. Now uh… seniors, look around. Now, seniors, look around, we’ve made our parents proud, we’ve worked so hard and now we get our cap and gown. Now, seniors, look around… 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…
Wow i guess ur a big fan of 7 years like me

The professors beeing emotional is everything.
This kid needs to be heard!!! Come on what's his social media
Waw
John Paul Wallace
His TikTok is @jonpaulwallace
In the song it says "we might not stick together forever, but I'll remember the memories" It is hard going your separate way, and leaving the ones u love behind. Can anyone relate?
Pls im crying
Dude's got me in tears over here. I don't even know y'all but I'm so proud that you made it through this chapter in your life. Go forth, follow your dreams and be successful!
Yeah what he said.
I'm not crying, you crying 😭 !!
How sweet he injected so much gratitude towards his peers.. plus, dang.. great voice! Great job brotha 👏👏👏

Harem Royality Me Too!! I just graduated yesterday
Anabelle Gonzales congrats!! I graduate tmw
Nice
what are you doing now? Another 3 years later
Right im almost a senior. I remember when I was in middle school. Goes by fast
I hope Lukas graham sees this ❤️❤️
I always come back to this song once in awhile, watching some of the teachers in the back tearing up, I know they were reminiscing their younger days too.
I really hate it when some people give a standing ovation only to fit in. It is something you do when unable to do anything else you stand up and give a round of applause from your heart.
he is great at singing
Evan The Gamer his name is Jon Paul wallace
I just realized ima be a senior this year. And just saw all the memories fly by like it was a gust of wind. Life is so short, make the best of it.
Yeah time really does fly. Today was my last day of senior year. It’s not what we really expected it to be but it still feels like an accomplishment. I really hope you and your fellow classmates have the BEST senior experience possible!
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
May 24 2021 The world lost a beautiful soul 🙏🏼🕊️🙏🏼
The lyrics tore straight to my core. I just graduated high school in 2020 and my graduation got pushed back multiple months to the point I wasn’t sure I would have it. We did in the end, and this video just encapsulates what high school is all about. You’re forced to be around people you wouldn’t normally be, but you learn from each other and grow together. There’s a special bond formed from being around each other every day at that age, and this man’s beautiful voice and lyrics portrayed that perfectly.
I cry every time I hear this song
I sang this at my graduation. Thank you JP Wallace for this lovely version of the song.
This kid blew me away. What an amazing voice.
Cried from start to end, I don’t know how some of those on stage held it together 😭😭😭
Where's the tissues? I'm in tears. Great job! It does make you wonder where time goes. Always cherish those youthful years & friends in school.
Michelle Cox Yes!! And I do!!
I’m graduating in four days and this made me so emotional omg
CONGRATULATIONS!
@@EGaming2016 idk sometimes I think of it as sad cause sometimes I just wanna be a little kid
Ey
Are you alive?
My heart is already beaming for this young man. I pray the best for you son. Kick life in the fu(kin pants boy! 🙌👏👏🤝
I know this was a while ago. But I hope wherever you are now, you still sing. Bless your soul.
I think he is a singer and song writer now. He has fb page and insta. JonPaul JP Wallace
Holy shit didn’t expect it to sound this good.
This guy has guts😱 I would never have done that. This guy needs to be heard!
What a voice! Wow!!!
I love how i am listening to this 7 years later
It's crazy watching all the older gentlemen sitting behind him fighting back tears cause they all felt these words at their ages
The fact that video was posted 7 years ago makes it even better
THIS SONG MAKES ME EMOTIONAL EVERYTIME I WATCH IT
Standing ovation! Love his voice every time, no matter how many times I have watched it over the years!
I think the professor on the right really felt it. The feeling of waiting for graduation but then when the time comes realising what they are leaving behind. And thinking how they should have lived it more and take everything from it - but you did. This will stay in memories, time will go by. But we need to enjoy the moment. These moments when we realise something is come to an end we also realise how we should have live the time and enjoy it the fullest. You will be great.
It’s 7 yrs old!❤
Listening this masterpiece in 2024
I feel so happy for him that he had such a good high school experience. Mine was awful, 20 years ago almost.
Same, I absolutely hated high school
@@TheMajesticKnight mine I wasn’t having friends Can we be friends if you don’t mind?
Loved his rendition...and I'm so happy he got a standing ovation. 👏👏👏
It's gonna be 20yrs since I graduated from high school on June 1st 2023 class of 2003. Life does go by so fast lost 3 friends and lost my mom and brother in 2011 and 2015. Enjoy life your family and friends cause it could end in a heart beat
Is anyone watching 7 years from now😮🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯💥
I'm not crying. You're crying😭😭
Beautiful, he changed some of the lyrics to make it original, good job.
He has an amazing voice! Love what he did with this song!! Amazing!!!
His parents should be so proud 👏 🥲 🥰. He did such an awesome job changing the lyrics, and his voice is perfect for that 🎵 song.
When you look back at life it seems like it went so fast but when you look at the future it takes a long time to get there
Gabriel Douglas stg..I was just thinking on this the other day
This is so true it made me cry I only have two years left and it’s crazy that half the people we talk to we won’t take to once we graduate😭
Destiny Dight i havent talked to a single person from my highschool after i went to college. Im at my second year now and still havent. Make 2 or 3 close friends now, i made a lot of friends but they were not really best friends more like mutual friends i had so i could fit in.
Love the way he changed this up it was so great. Congratulations to all the seniors all around America
Im 30 now... and i heard this all the time Dont blink your childhood will be over fast.... and I blinked crazy... live your life and take it slow
i remember watching this in middle school. now i’m a senior in high school about to graduate soon💔
Right man, time flies. I remember when I was in middle school. Elementary to. Now half way through junior year.
I mean ABSOLUTELY breath-taking! A beautiful way of "giving his speech". Wishing our young people much success. ❤️
The fact that this video is 7 years old
Wish I can live my childhood all over again
This is legit gold🤯🙌🏻 Protect my man at all costs❤🙏🏻
