When the Sand Runs Out



Recently one song has been playing on my songlist.


I know I sound like a Rascal Flatts fan, but it's only because Rascal Flatts have good songs.

This song really made me think about my life, and like the person in the song, I want to keep running until my sand runs out.

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 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 



I wanna keep running, climbing, travelling, flying...until I reach that pearly gates and here my King say, "Well done, my good and faithful servant."

I want to live my life to the fullest in God...

A Say for Today

If right-handers use their left brain, doesn't it mean that left-handers are always in the right mind??
