JonPaul (JP) Wallace Dedicates New Rendition of 7 Years by Lukas Graham to all the 2020 Graduates 

Crazy to think I heard the original song at the end of 8th grade thinking senior year is soooo far away and hear I am graduated thinking that I first heard that song last year. Crazy times.

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

Just watched your high school version of this song. And then this popped a few minutes later. So awesome to see your development as a singer. Your confidence in your voice and your ease of the stage. Keep on keeping on young sir!! ❤

I was there when you sang the original for my sister graduation love that you redid this ❤️ such a beautiful voice. I hope life is well

Wow, I just saw the older video like a few years ago. Time flies so fastly. Congratulations, by the way! 🎉

I graduated high school in 2016, my old manager showed me this song when I graduated. I am now a teacher and I watch and share this often with everyone I meet!

i remember seeing the original video years ago! now as a 2020 graduate, this song sends a powerful message! always cherish the little moments you have in school because they go by fast. congratulations on graduating, wishing nothing but the best for you!

They should play this song or any song like this one at every single high school graduation

Loved it! My daughter graduated from the same college as you this year! It is so sad that you guys couldn’t have a regular graduation ceremony! I really like how you added in your high school graduation song and your current song together! Someone did some great editing! Congratulations to you! 🎓

##jonpaulwallace I graduated in 2007 then college in 2010 and again in 2013. I’ve stumbled upon your song and version of this song. Hits deep and hard. Life seems to fly by and narrow as we age. Your vision was before your time when you composed your song to your classmates. Such a touching song. Thank you for sharing your talents and I hope you never stop with music. God bless

Amazing voice

Congratulations.

That song is perfect for graduation day

Everything you sing it’s just MAGICAL ; even if you do it twice!🥰🎤👏🏻🎶

It’s crazy how fast time goes by! It was just yesterday of me going into my freshman year and now it hits that 4 years past by like nothing

Me encantó

This is beautiful, bro! I literally just graduated high school (and my brother was in the class of 2020), and this song is a great encapsulation of a certain aspect of my thought process in these times. God bless you, bro!

May your future life will be so bright and full of happiness.

Just saw your video from 2016 pop up on my feed and had to look you up powerful message and it’s awesome how you changed that song to something g so relevant wish you the best bud. Congrats on making it through all those years of school!

Awesome Buddy and Keep the love going!

A graduating senior from the University of North Florida this Spring. Time has flown by indeed. You have a beautiful voice and are such an inspiration. Keep going!

I didn't think that video was that old 😂 now that I think about it I listened to it at the end of 7th grade and I'm about to be a senior!!! It's not going as planned, but as long as I finish strong I'll be okay

im gonna listen to this in 2024 for mine, youve inspired me to start doing my own music, thank you, jonpaul, bradley(my brother) and the others, thank you

Another great song for the youth, looking forward is "100 years" - Five For Fighting. Also "Sunscreen" - Baz Luhrmann (which debuted in the 90's)

Honestly I'm glad that I never got my graduation cause I never saw the point in it. Walking down the isle just for a piece a paper that says you passed high school? That sounds overrated if they wanted to give it to me so badly they can mail it to me and if it mattered to my family we could celebrate it ourselves. I guess I'm somewhat glad quarantine came but that might've just been me. If I was Valedictorian I would've roasted the whole High School and everything I hated about it but that never happened since it never came.

What college did you go to

My cousin in Dickinson Texas

What did you graduate from ?

Now in 2024 Masters?
