Verse

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

Chorus

 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 something here

 Go out on a ledge, with out 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"

Chorus

 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 something here

 Go out on a ledge, with out any net, That's what I'm gonna be about

 Yeah I wanna be runnin', When the sand runs out

Bridge

 And as a cold wind blows across the grave yard

I think I hear the voice of my old friend whisper in my ear

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 something here

 Go out on a ledge, with out any net, That's what I'm gonna be about

 I wanna be runnin', When the sand runs out

Oh yeah, I wanna be runnin', When the sand runs out
