100 Years to live

I love this song by Five for Fighting. It's a melancholic one but it's beautiful. It tells us to reflect on our lives and to live it to the fullest because we only have a hundred years to live.

Because we are confined in this limited period of time, we have to spend it wisely; make the most of it; enjoy its every minute; and share it with the people we love most. Somehow, I realized that I have to appreciate the love I am getting from my family and friends and to love them in return.

Yes, there may be times that their efforts will fall short of our expectations but we just have to think that we have shortcomings too. Didn't we know long ago that nobody is perfect?

So today is another day of the 100 years we have . Enjoy it, feel it and live it! Because if not, we're gonna lose 0.0027% of our lifetime here on earth.

A great song really! Too bad embedding is not allowed in this video clip. Here's the link anyway: 100 Years Youtube Clip and here's the lyrics:

100 Years
Songwriters: Ondrasik, John

I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

I'm 22 for a moment
And she feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a ?they'
A kid on the way, babe
A family on my mind

I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose yourself
Within a morning star

15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

Half time goes by
Suddenly you're wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on

I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you're on your way
Every day's a new day

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
