I spent the morning at an old friend's grave

Flowers and amazing grace he was a good man

But 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's the first day of the rest of my life

Chorus:

I'm gonna stop looking back 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

Cause people do it every day promise themselves they're gonna change

I've been there

But I'm changing from the inside out that was then 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 it was worth
