A week is a time unit equal to seven days. The English word week continues an Old English wice, ultimately from a Common Germanic *wikōn-, from a root *wik- "turn, move, change". The Germanic word probably had a wider meaning prior to the adoption of the Roman calendar, perhaps "succession series", as suggested by Gothic wikō translating taxis "order" in Luke 1:8. The term "week" is sometimes expanded to refer to other time units comprising a few days. Such "weeks" of between four and ten days have been used historically in various places. Intervals longer than 10 days are not usually termed "weeks" as they are closer in length to the fortnight or the month than to the seven-day week.
Evidence of continuous use of a seven-day week appears with the Jews during the Babylonian Captivity of the 6th century BC. Both Judaism (based on the Creation narrative in the Bible) and ancient Babylonian religions used a seven-day week. Other cultures adopted the seven-day week at different times. Between the 1st and 3rd centuries the Roman Empire gradually replaced the eight-day Roman nundinal cycle with the seven-day week. Hindus may have adopted a seven-day week earlier than 11th century BC.[citation needed] See Rig Veda. There is evidence of some Chinese groups using a seven-day week as early as 4th century.

Genres: Comedy, Musical,Well it gets cold in here
These years they pass with fear
Your daddy don't love you anymore
The fear it comes and goes
Money goes up their nose
Your momma don't live here anymore
Just dry your cheeks girl, wipe your eyes
Just close the door, it'll be alright
Your daddy's trippin' with a needle in his arm
The belt it wraps so tight
The pain around your life
Your momma don't live here anymore
The tears they come at night
You live and learn to fight
Your daddy don't love you anymore
Your life it comes with pain
Money goes in their veins
Your momma don't live here anymore
It comes and goes so far
Lookin' into their arms
