Paroles de 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 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's the first day of the rest of my life

I'm gonna stop lookin' back and start movin' on
And learn how to face my fears
Love with all of my heart, make my mark
I wanna leave somethin' here
Go out on a ledge, without any net
That's what i'm gonna be about
Yeah, i wanna be runnin'
When the sand runs out

'cause people do it everyday
Promise themselves they're gonna change
I've been there but i'm changin' 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"

I'm gonna stop lookin' back and start movin' 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 runnin'
When the sand runs out, oh yeah

And as a cold wind blows across the graveyard
I think i hear, the voice of my old friend whisper in my ear

I'm gonna stop lookin' back and start movin' on
Learn how to face my fears
Love with all of my heart, make my mark
I wanna leave somethin' here
Go out on a ledge, without any net
That's what i'm gonna be about
Yeah i wanna be runnin'
When the sand runs out
I wanna be runnin'
When the sand runs out
Yes i do
