Song that really makes you think
This song really makes me think.Rascal Flatts...."When the Sand Runs Out"...off of the "Feels Like Today" album from 2004
Look it up, listen to the lyrics, and think about what this song says.
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
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 lookin back and start movin on
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
that's what I'm gonna be about
yeah I wanna be running when the sand runs out
-(end chorus)-
cause 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 it's worth
-(repeat chorus)-
and as the cold wind blows across the graveyard, I think I hear
the voice of my old friend whisper in my ear
-(repeat chorus)-
I wanna be running when the sand runs out
yes I do.........................
I think this song tells us we have to keep going and not let the past hold us back, we've got to live life to the fullest we can, "until the sand runs out"
