    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
    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 a hundred 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 was 45 when this came out. Little did I know the chilling accuracy of these words, "I'm 45 for a moment, the sea is high and I'm heading into a crisis." My crisis was breast cancer. I'm 63 for a moment and looking back with gratitude on these last 17 breast-cancer-free years. Each day, each breath is a gift.

      Absolutely, each day is a gift. You beat the odds, want through terrible pain and look at you now, still standing like a Boss. So many, many people never got to see 45, or 17 for that matter. You definitely received a miracle. I'll pray for you to have many more years since so many were taken from you. God has blessed you.

      God has plans for everyone. My mom was cancer free around the same age as yours but had a cancer recurrence around May last year. The doctor said that she had at least six months left. She was a woman of faith and wanted to see he grandchildren grow up, which she eventually experienced. Sadly, she left us behind last year. Please have your annual medical check-ups done, as she has failed to do so during the Pandemic.

    I'm 22 for a moment

Remember, these are the good ol days, enjoy them, make memories & remember, time is fleeting & life goes by quick! 100 years seems like an eternity, but those who've lived that long assure me, that one day their 17 & the next, they wake up & an entire lifetime has passed them by.

    I heard this song tonight played for a friend who was celebrating her 90th birthday. Just wanted to say that my wife and I were married at 18 and 17, and we're now 71 and 70, and still married to each other. We lost a daughter six years ago to breast cancer at age 41. Never take time for granted; it passes too quickly. Love the people in your life while you can. I would also add that our faith in Jesus has carried us through many storms of life. Blessings to you all.

      God bless your marriage and my condolences to your family on the loss of your daughter. My daughter carried your first child for a full nine months, only to have my sweet granddaughter's heart stop just before she could be delivered. Now 25 months later, the pain remains, but we ask each day for our Heavenly Father to keep us strong as we honor our granddaughter's memory each day. My daughter has since had a son, God bless him, and she is pregnant again, but memories are hard to erase. Each day of the pregnancy we put our hope and faith in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Your foundation is solid with your faith in Jesus and I wish God's blessings to you both.

    If you can somehow make it through the song without crying, reading the comments will start the tears flowing. With every passing year, this song becomes richer, and deeper in meaning. I can't believe I'll be 60 next year. I lost my father last year, man that was hard. So many good people gone over the past twenty years. But at the same time, I'm blessed with two beautiful boys and maybe I'll have grandchildren in a few years...still so much to look forward to. Not really sure how many more 'moments' I'll get. I'll be happy with 40 more healthy ones. Time to meet my grandkids, time to deepen my friendships, time to accomplish a few more of my writing goals. And maybe time for Paris...somehow never found the time to go there.

    Heard it in a store two days, and listened to it about 50 times since then. Lots of crying and thoughts of being 15, when my mom, dad, and grandma were still alive. I heard it On April 27th, which happened to be the day Mom went to Heaven 34 years ago, Now at 71, I still miss her like crazy. She only got to be a grandma for one year, but knew we were expecting our second child when the Lord called her. And we named our third child, our daughter after my Grandma and Mom, the two kindest, sweetest, and strongest ladies God ever made. I will continue playing this and cry each time. Young people, don't waste a minute, as this old timer wasted more than I care to remember. Enjoy each day the Good Lord gives you.

      I agree. This song changes with age. The older I get, the better I can look back in clarity. I feel like the hand of God showing our life in slow motion. Looking back through a rear-view mirror has been a whirlwind of emotions. This song is truly healing. It's an age-less song.

      @heatherpierce9123 just four years before your son’s birthday I had a son, Ryan born 7.20.2000 about 3 weeks early, his lungs not fully developed. Ryan knew my voice as he seemed to be very active every time I was around his mother. While he laid in ICU, I put my smallest finger in his little hand as he naturally grasped it, I told him I loved him. He was laying on his belly, turned his head and looked at me with his beautiful dark eyes. about 30 hours later, I decided to stay with his mother in her room. Before we even got to sleep, they called us and no parent should ever have to see someone doing CPR on an infant. They tried. They let us hold him for about 45 minutes before letting him go to holding room before the morgue picked him up for a later funeral. Yes July 20 has a significant meaning as my grandfather passed on that day to In 1986. Some may get 100 years some maybe just a few hours and none of us know what tomorrow holds and life can sure have unfair consequences, however I have the faith that I will see all that have passed before me. I to without would have been gone in December of 2019, except doctors blessed with technology are amazing at times with what they can do with your heart to keep you going. 🙏🏻

    LYRICS
    I'm 15 for a moment
    Caught in between ten 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've only got a hundred years to live
    I'm 33 for a moment
    I'm 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 alright with you
    15
    There's never a wish better than this
    When you've only got a hundred 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
    And 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
    Ooh-ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo-hoo
    Ooh-ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo-hoo
    Ooh-ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
    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've only got a hundred years to live

    This song makes you realize if you follow a life of comfortable routine, years will fly by and you will question what have you done with your time? Live your life to the fullest! I am learning at 25 (almost 26) how fast time flew by when I didn’t pay attention and got comfortable doing the same thing over and over. My parents warned me the older you get, the faster time flies by and they were not kidding!

    Now, 12 years later, I stumbled again upon this song. I marvel at how life is but a fleeting moment. A failed suicidal act because of getting bullied at college (body shaming and physical abuse) resulting on a damaged liver and kidneys and, maybe, can only go for just another 15 years from now.
    I sing along with this song and every time I sing the chorus "15 there's still time for you" I cry like a waterfall. I still got time. 15 years. Never a wish better than this indeed. Cherish your life people. It's a precious beautiful life we get to live.

Trust in 85 years of learning, condensed into 46, swim, run, dance, sing, leave a legacy, and pass on your much earned wisdom. Whether or not it helps who you are passing it to, some day your kids, or friends/family will say," Michael, used to say......"....That is your legacy!!

    This song reminds me that I might have wasted some of my 80 years when I was careless with my life. We think we will never grow old but my teenage years were just yesterday. I remember my first kiss and how wonderful it tasted. Spend your years wisely, love a lot, be kind and generous because your life will pass like a flash a light and leave only memories of not only the good, but the bad things you had rather forget.

    I turned 70 this year and I still hope to meet the love if my life because I don’t think I have yet. I don’t feel young - but I also don’t know why I’m supposed to feel old. I’m not waiting though, doing insane travelling on my own. I don’t want more regrets. I don’t wait for companions or approval. Within my modest means I’m living a big life. I’m blessed.

      Jesus loves you and wants you to follow Him ❤ He is the way, the truth, and the life. I was an atheist for years until I had a supernatural encounter with Jesus that profoundly changed my life. The gift of salvation and eternal life is available to all who put their trust in Jesus. Seek Him with a genuine and humble heart and He will reveal His existence to you.

      Yes, a mural...what a lovely way to describe it Dee. Every so often in this whirlwind called life, something catches our eye or ear and nudges us to stop, think, reminisce and look forward with a bit more clarity. John's legacy song here always does that for me, and now, so does your

    "100 Years"
    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 a hundred years to live
    I'm 33 for a moment
    I'm 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 a hundred 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
    And 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 a hundred years to live
