A Hundred Candles

Tell me more about how everything has changed
And all the things you've seen.
Like were you amazed when they put the first satellite in space?
Did you see the moon landing on TV?

It used to be commonly people got sick and died.
They made medicines for that.
When they were new a computer to you must have seemed incredible.
Now they fit into your hand.

What's it like to be a hundred?
To see the world change more than you could have imagined?
What's it like to have a hundred birthday candles?
Must be wild to be a hundred.

Does it seem strange that everything we buy
Comes from another country?
And they can ship it here tomorrow?
Were you surprised the first time an actor became president?
Or you heard about a gay wedding?

What's it like to be a hundred?
To see the world change more than you could have imagined?
What's it like to have a hundred birthday candles?
Pretty wild that you're a hundred.

When you wake up does it take a while
To remember who you are?
It must be hard to keep forgetting.
If you're too tired we can stop now.
You can just lie down.
Don't have to keep going.

'Cuz it's hard to be a hundred.
To see the world change more than you could have imagined.
You can't blow out a hundred birthday candles.
Not when you're a hundred.
