lyrics
99 Years
It took me 99 years to make the change
It took me 99 years. Does that seem strange?
It took me 99 years all the same
It took me 99 years to admit
99 years to unstick
99 years to let it shift
Chorus
33 years in a sleepy state
And 33 more years to awake
And then finally come another 33
When a flash of understanding finally washes over me
It took 99 years to realize
That it don’t take 99 years
To let it thrive
And after 99 years
You might be barely alive
Ahh and only one thing,well maybe 2 or 3
At the end of the day amounts to anything
And so much time is spent on every other thing
Chorus
Bridge
After roaming round so many neighborhoods
Looking for the one that really feels good
One might come to finally realize
That the very best one is right before your eyes
99 Years
99 Years
99 Fears
N N N 99 Tears
99 Years
