The lyrics of the song “100 years” by Five for Fighting keeps ringing in my ears. I realized I’m 35 this year; I’m 35 for a moment. Time flies and the days go by.
“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”
(100 Years – Five for Fighting)
Time flies and the days go by. I sometimes feel that life is slipping me by.
Then I remember “time” for the Jews in Jesus time had two meanings. “Chronos” time and “Kairos” time. “Chronos” time is chronological time while “Kairos” means significant moments. Moses wandering in the desert for 40 years is “chronos” time; a span of forty years that pass and can never be re-lived. Moses receiving the 10 commandments on
I’m 35 this year; I’m 35 for a moment. Though times flies and the days go by and life is slipping me by, I still pray that my 35th year will be one filled with many “Kairos” moments.
