Lately, my journaling has taken a back seat to a myriad of activities I have been engaging in. I have a million things to write about, yet nothing to say.
100 Years by Five For Fighting
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
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

Happy Birthday!!! I know what you mean by sometimes being happy where you are and sometimes not. I go through it too.... Tawnya
Yeah...I have no idea about where I fit in...age-wise. It's an odd feeling.
Hope you have a wonderful birthday, Nikki.
Love,
Nancy

I love that song! One of my favorites! I am big on sound.. and lyrics, and this has both!
Thanks for sharing, Nikki... Have a Happy Birthday!

This is one of my favorite songs.. I have the Five For Fighting CD and listen to this song repeatedly, driving my kids crazy! My birthday is around the corner as well. It's funny how birthdays are much like the birth of a new year. Thoughts of the past, changes that have occurred, and that which remains. For better or worse, it's all just part of the dance...
Take care, and Happy Birthday to you.

As you can see, many folks relate to that song and go to the trouble of noting the lyrics. Such a deep melody, too. Times of reflection are the impetus of good change or just gratitude for the way things are, and I wish for you all the happiness you can hold, my friend. xoxo CATHY
