"When the sand runs out..."

I spent the morning at an old friend's graveFlowers and 'Amazing Grace', he was a good manHe spent his whole life spinning his wheelsNever knowing how the real thing feelsHe never took a chance or took the time to danceAnd I stood there thinking, as I said goodbyeToday is the first day of the rest of my lifeI'm gonna stop looking back and starting moving onLearn how to face my fearsLove with all of my heart, make my markI wanna leave something hereGo out on a ledge, without any netThat's what I'm gonna be aboutYeah, I wanna be runningWhen the sand runs outCause people do it everydayPromise themselves they're gonna changeI've been there, but I'm changing from the inside out That was then and this is nowI'm a new man, yeah, I'm a brand new manAnd 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 starting moving onAnd learn how to face my fearsLove with all of my heart, make my markI wanna leave something hereGo out on a ledge, without any netThat's what I'm gonna be aboutYeah, I wanna be runningWhen the sand runs outAnd as the cold wind blows across the graveyardI think I hear the voice of my old friend, whisper in my earI'm gonna stop looking back and start moving onAnd learn how to face my fearsLove with all of my heart and make my markI wanna leave something hereGo out on a ledge, without any netThat's what I'm gonna be aboutYeah, I wanna be runningWhen the sand runs outI wanna be running When the sand runs outYes I do, mmm
