Song lyrics
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

Dude! This song is the best! I LOVE RASCAL FLATTS TO DEATH AND ALL OF THEIR SONGS ARE OFF DA CHAIN, BUT THIS ONE IS ONE OF THE BEST!!!!!!!! The most powerful lyric I think in the song is [lyrics=] I spent the morning at an old friend's grave.
And it really touches my heart b/c one of my classmates died recently and I think of him every time I hear this great song. I think me and my best friend Samantha are gonna perform this song in the Talent Show...I will let you guys know how that blows over!! HAHA! Sorry, getting offtopic. But, yeah, I think I said all I need to. Soo..L8ter.
