100 Years to Live - 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
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

Kim,
I have had "100 years to live" in my head for weeks because of the Chase Bank commercial. I have been looking everywhere for the full name and lyrics...thank you so much!!!
Glad you found it.
i lovee this songg!!
Me too!
what cd of five for fighting is this song on
100 Years is on the Battle for Everything cd by Five for Fighting!
I just recently set the goal of living to be 100.... This is now my theme song.... lol.... Hey from the Great White North; DJ
Good luck to you! My goal is at least 100 years as well.
I have had this song on my brain for some time. It has almost derailed me because it is so poignant. I don't know if anyone has ever summed up those ideas any better than that about how precious time is and how fast it flies.
I did not know who the artist was until I came across your page in a Google. Thank you. You seem like a very cool person. May you have a fulfilling century, From Upstate NY.
Mike,
It hits home every time I hear it. 100+ years to you too! Kim
Kim,

Nick,
Time goes by in a blink of an eye.... 100+ to you too! Kim
My little sister just turned fifteen and I wanted to enclose these lyrics in her birthday card to remind her to enjoy her youth and not hurry to grow up too fast. Thanks for posting them.
What a great gift!
Hey can you tell me where i can listen to the entire song. everywhere i go only has the 30 secs.
My father-in-law passed away last June 04 and this song was the first song we heard on the radio -
Now that a year has passed, I have been able to sit down and find it, Thanks to this post.
It is a sad but Happy song for us, that we will now pass on to our 15 year old daughter to make her think of Happy times ahead.
I'm very glad you found it. It is an amazing song that seems to touch so many.
Kim, I am 44 with a 9yr old and a 5yr old I had breast cancer and now my mom at 66 has lung cancer. My goal is to live (period). I am creating a digital scrapbook and this song will be used in the backgroud. It says it all :)

I love the song!!!
I have an uncle who turned 100 yesterday. He passed away this morning listening to this song. It truly is such an amzing song.
I'm 15, and this song touched me so much when I heard it just now on the radio. I actually started crying. I don't cry easily.
This song has touched me in a way that no other song has! I love it.
People don't sing like ths anymore.
i like this song ! ! ! ! ! ! ! tnx for the group who sing this... i love this so much...
This song reminds me of my father who will always love life so much...
He always said life is only a breath and you can stop breathing one of these days without the time to figure it out.
So now that I've found this song...
This is for you, Dad. Love you always
This song hit me every time I would see the credit card commercials. Never could understand the words. But the music and the "voice" mystified me. Thanks for the lyrics!
I found this song through yahoo, I fist heard this song with my grandmother a couple of years ago on the way to church, now it is our favorite song. Times changed and i don't see her as often as i would, but when i hear this song, I dream as if i was still sitting right next to here those many moments ago! I love this song and it seems i'm not the only one. Best wishes to you Kim!!!

My nephew Steven & his wife used this song for the Power Point photo display of their lives from baby to now at their wedding. With '100 Years to Live', ironically Steven died in a tragic accident last week at age 32. They were married only 8 months.
Kerry,
I love this song! I should ask my mom and dad if we can get the CD that would be so cool. Once I listen to it I cant help but listen to it a few more times and after that its stuck in my head!
And I read all the other comments and they liked it so thanx to all the other people for saying that..And enjoy!
I really enjoy listening to this song.
( does NE1 know where to listen to the song on here)

This song is gangster! I love it! At my school we picked it to be our senior class song. Because its like a life summary.
OMG i love this song we got to sing it at our high school for select choir! We did an awsome job too!
at school we have to sing this for graduation at first i didnt like it now i do its a sad song
Recently my Australian Husband had to return to Australia to care for his elderly Father. We are in our late 40's and often listen to this song while I'm engaged in a very strict and detail process of migration.
This song sums up so much. Especially for us. Seeing his Father age and redefining what is important to us. Finding our way back to each other. Life. What's really important. I just got approval to enter Australia last week following what seems 100 years. (Really 6 months.) Every day IS a new day! Is not just a cliche'.
Thank you Five For Fighting. Brilliant lyrics and a resounding message to the youth of today. To those so called "kids",... Carpe Diem!

There is a great video on the internet which uses this song. It's an 85 year old man's wish to bungee jump. Here's the link

This song just touches me like very few.,. a good friend if mine broke down in tears whn she heard it at her 40th birthday. She and I are both going through tough tomes. It is one great song. Wish I wrote it. I try and be optimistic because of the line late in the song "Every days a new day" However, there is sadness there too
I have been hooked on this song since the finale of JAG (which was back in 2005). For the longest time I have been trying to figure out who sung this song and to hear the entire song.
My middle school choir is singing this song. The first time we sang through it I cried. And so did almost everyone else. Just imagine, 50 middle schoolers bawling their eyes out over this song. It has been about a month of practicing it and most of us can get through it with out crying. It is such a powerful song!
Thank you for the words. I heard this song as I was driving from Florida after my mother's funeral. It felt like my dad's song to her (he had died the previous year). He was 33 and had 3 kids in 1957 and 67 when the sun was high and he was moving on to retire in Florida. I'm wiping my tears and playing the song over and over in tribute to a great man.

Has anyone seen or remember a commercial with this song that contains a yellow background and a line and the line changes shape from child to man and goes through the life cycle? I don't remember the company, probably chase because they had an ad campaign but when this song came out it was used extensively in commercials. I'd have to probably contact the band to figure out if I'm remembering this or if i just made it up in my head. it's very vivid in my mind. Can anyone help me out??
