Music Monday - Five For Fighting - 100 Years

For today’s Music Monday, I will be featuring “100 years” by Five For Fighting. Not really a new song as it was released last 2004, but when I heard it again playing in the radio, I instantly fell in love with the song.

The song was part of the “The Battle for Everything” album of Five for Fighting which was released in 2004 and enjoyed chart success in the US. The album debuted at number 20 on the Billboard 200 in February 2004.


For those who don’t know yet, Five for Fighting is the stage name of American singer-songwriter John Ondrasik. His 2000 album America Town went platinum in the U.S. mainly because of the success of the song "Superman (It's Not Easy)", which became a song of healing for America following the September 11 attacks in 2001.

100 Years - Five For Fighting

100 Years Lyrics

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
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
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, 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
