When The Sand Runs Out Lyrics

When The Sand Runs Out lyrics

Written By: Brad Crisler & James LeBlanc



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 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"



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



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

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

Wanna be runnin'

When the sand runs out

Yes I do
