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
Go out on a ledge, without any net
That's what I'm gonna be about
Yeah, I want to be running
When the sand runs out

[Verse 2]
'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 that it's worth"

[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
Go out on a ledge, without any net
That's what I'm gonna be about
Yeah, I want to be running
When the sand runs out

[Bridge]
And as the cold wind blows across the graveyard I think I hear
The voice of my old friend whisper in my ear

[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
Go out on a ledge, without any net
That's what I'm gonna be about
Yeah, I want to be running
When the sand runs out

[Outro]
I want to be running when the sand runs out
Oh, yes I do
