When The Sand Runs Out

[Verse 1] I spent the morning at an old friend's grave Flowers and Amazing Grace, he was a good man He spent his whole life spinnin' his wheels Never knowin' 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 [Pre-Chorus] I'm gonna stop looking back and start moving on And learn how to face my fears Love with all of my heart, make my mark I want to leave something here [Chorus] Go out on a ledge, with out any net That's what I'm going to be about Yeah I want to be running When the sand runs out [Verse 2] Because 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 that its worth" And as the cold wind blows across the graveyard I think I hear the voice of my old friend whisper in my ear [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus]
