I spent the morning at an old friends 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.
I stood there thinking as I said goodbye,
"Today's the first day of the rest of my life!"

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, thats what I'm gonna be about
Yeah, I wanna be running when the sand runs out.

Cuz 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 its worth!"

As the cold wind blows across the graveyard, I think I hear,
The voice of my old friend whisper in my ear........
