about

As I grow older, it becomes clearer to me what truly matters most in this short and fragile life we have. For me – it is my family, my pursuit for integrity, and my focus on craftsmanship as an artist. While I am always learning, I am coming to find that material things and adventurous experiences pale in comparison to the tender and priceless moments I share with my family and dearest friends. This song is also a reminder that, no matter how close we get to others, we are still on a singular journey through this existence and our individuality and uniqueness is a valuable gift that shouldn't be squandered.

lyrics

I don't daydream about being a rich man
To pay the bills and keep my passions alive
I don't need a thousand friends who don’t know me
To make me think I've had a good life

I don't long for how I haven't lived yet
Or for the home that I haven't quite made
All I really have is the gift of today
So why would I give that away?

If I could have one wish
It would be to live
A life full of meaning and wonder
For a hundred summers

There's not some bucket list folded in my wallet
Burning a hole in the pocket of my dreams
Yes, there are things I would like to experience
But without them I will still feel complete

And while I love you more than I’ve loved anyone
And I would give my life to spare yours
You have your own desires and I have mine
We've our own trials and sorrows to endure

If I could have one wish
It would be to live
A life full of meaning and wonder
For a hundred summers

Our children run around and giggle in the front yard
On a day that brought sunshine and thunder
I’m sipping your homemade peach iced tea
Dodging water balloons and sunburns


If I could have one wish
It would be to live
A life full of meaning and wonder
If given wealth untold
I would trade it all
Just to have these moments so tender
For a hundred summers
