I had totally forgotten about this forum when I posted this on the Homebrew section. Posting it here since this is where it belongs. Hopeful it will get more feed-back here than it did there.
If someone with the right voice and/or instrument(s) wanted to record it I would be VERY happy and could probably even get it broadcast on the webcast station of a friend of mine if they wanted...
To the tune of "100 Years (to live)" by Five for Fighting.
4000 Years (to live)
With Apologies to Five For Fighting
I'm 55 for a moment
Caught in between 20 and 200
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the winds to where you are
I'm 300 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Celestia
55 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
55, there's never a *Wish* better than this
Even when you've got 4000 years to live
I'm 500 for a moment
Still the drake, but you see I'm a they
A clutch on the way they
A family on my mind
I'm 700 for a moment
The tempest is high
And I'm heading into a crusade
Chasing the meaning of my life
55 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
55, I'm all right with you
55, there's never a *Wish* better than this
Even when you've got 4000 years to live
Quarter time goes by
Suddenly you're Anchient
Another change of an Age
12-hundred is gone
The sun is getting high
We're soaring on
I'm 39-hundred for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the thermals to where you are
55 there's still time for you
300 I feel her too
500 you're on your way
Every day's a new day
55 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
55, there's never a *Wish* better than this
Even when you've got 4000 years to live
Celestia is technically too many syllables but I think it works...
"Thermals" substituted for "ways" may be a bit corny... not sure...
Anyway, what do y'all think and does anyone have any further suggestions?
Awesome filk there. Not heard the original song, but the lyrics you posted there were cool.

The lyrics work quite well. "thermals" sounds a bit weird, "winds" would fit better (both in pronounciation and number of syllables closer to "ways") but the rest is good.

"winds" works... will actually change that...
Technically what you did is probably "thread necromancy", so maybe you should have PMed me, but probably didn't know that.
