I Never Thought I'd Live To Be A Hundred Lyrics

I never thought I'd live to be a hundred,
I never thought I'd get to do the things
That all those other sons do, and they do.
I never thought I'd ever have my freedom,
An age ago my maker was refusing me
The pleasure of the view.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Space travel and aging. Einstein had a theory about it. I don't remember exactly, but if your travelling the speed of light the aging process slows down (something to that effect). The album this is from (To Our Childrens...) is about space travel and being in space a loooong time. Also see "I'd Never Thought I'd Love to Be a Million".
