[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
