When the Sand Runs Out

I spent the morning at an old friend's grave Flowers and 'Amazing Grace', he was a good man He spent his whole life spinning his wheels Never knowing how the real thing feels He never took a chance or took the time to dance And I stood there thinking as I said goodbye Today is the first day of the rest of my life I'm gonna stop looking back and starting moving on And learn how to face my fears Love with all of my heart, make my mark I wanna leave something here Go out on a ledge, without any net That's what I'm gonna be about Yeah, I wanna be running When the sand runs out 'Cause people do it everyday Promise themselves they're gonna change I've been there, but I'm changing from the inside out That was then and this is now I'm a new man, yeah, I'm a brand new man And when they carve my stone, they'll write these words "Here lies a man who lived life for all it's worth" I'm gonna stop looking back and starting moving on And learn how to face my fears Love with all of my heart, make my mark I wanna leave something here Go out on a ledge, without any net That's what I'm gonna be about Yeah, I wanna be running When the sand runs out The cold wind blows across the graveyard I think I hear the voice of my old friend whisper in my ear I'm gonna stop looking back and starting moving on And learn how to face my fears Love with all of my heart, make my mark I wanna leave something here Go out on a ledge, without any net That's what I'm gonna be about Yeah, I wanna be running When the sand runs out Yes I do
