As I was completing consecutive run number 4,340 this morning, the song 100 Years by Five for Fighting came on the radio and made me reflect a bit on life with a lesson of living in the moment.

100 Years

I’m fifteen for a moment
Caught in between ten and twenty
And I’m just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

I’m twenty two for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we’re on fire
Making our way back from Mars

Fifteen, there’s still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
Fifteen, there’s never a wish better than this
When you only got hundred years to live

I’m thirty-three for a moment
I’m still the man, but you see I’m of age
A kid on the way, babe
A family on my mind

I’m forty-five for a moment
The sea is high
And I’m headin’ into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life

Fifteen, there’s still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
Fifteen, I’m alright with you

Fifteen, there’s never a wish better than this
When you only got hundred years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you’re wise

Another blink of an eye
Sixty-seven is gone
The sun is gettin’ high
We’re movin’ on   (I AM HERE)

I’m ninety nine for a moment
And dyin’ for just another moment
And I’m just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

Fifteen, there’s still time for you
Twenty-two, I feel her too
Thirty-three, you’re on your way
Every day’s a new day

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Fifteen, there’s still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose

Hey fifteen, there’s never a wish better than this
When you only got hundred years to live
