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

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"

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 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, with out any net
That´s what I´m gonna be about
Yeah I wanna be runnin´
When the sand runs out
