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 start moving on

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 that it's worth"



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 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



And as 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 start moving on

And learn how to face my fears

Love with all of my heart and 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

I wanna be running

When the sand runs out

Yes I do, mmm
