When The Sand Runs Out- Rascal Flatts

"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

No matter how strong you are, you can’t beat yourself.

I’m sorry you lost him, but you sound proud and it seems he left a fire in you.

My dad was and will always be my best friend. He taught me more about life than any education will ever teach me. He has been gone for ten years and I miss him everyday. He left his mark and was the best man u could have ever been blessed to meet. I pray I'm at least half the person he was and leave a mark myself to carry-on his memory. I love u daddy.

Do you think that a father can teach a woman can teach womanhood as well as a woman or do you think a man’s lessons are just as well?

It's hard when it's just you fighting against the world and especially when you lose your mother that raised you so well and you just don't know where else to turn so what would happen if the sand runs out on me. What would people really think what they cry at my funeral I would they just go about like nothing even happened that's when I wander and then I cried when my mom passed in 2012 she had ovarian cancer and they just took over her I remember her last words was don't disappoint me son you're my only son my only child make me proud and I have not made her proud I have disappointed her how do drugs I self harmed I try to take my life so what kind of son am I I feel like I'm a failure to her and everybody around me but life moves on with people or without people I do want to thank my girlfriend/my wife she is been my support my rock and my everything Chantelle Nathanal Payne you make me a bright and happy I don't know what I would do if I ever lost you I will probably just die because I've been with you for 10 years this is all I know is to be in a relationship with you and I don't express myself I know I don't do things the way you want me to do that that's the most important part that I want you to know that you are my world and I love you and I wouldn't know what to do if I ever came to a point in my life where I'm not gonna make it I got so many health issues I hold onto you with all my heart that's the only thing that's makes me push on

This song is incredible and really puts into perspective of living life to the fullest. So much hope and determination is invested into this song; much needed warmth for today. I first heard this song when I was in middle school, encouraged me to work hard in academics, and now I’m going for my doctorate in chemistry!
