The Measure of a Man |
| These battered hand are all you own |
| This broken heart has turned to stone |
| Go hang your glory on the wall |
| There comes a time when castles fall |
| And all that’s left is shifting in the sand |
| You’re out of time, you’re out of place |
| Look at your face |
| That’s the measure of a man |
| This coat that fits you like a glove |
| These dirty streets you learned to love |
| So welcome back my long lost friend |
| You’ve been to hell and back again |
| God alone knows how you crossed that span |
| Back on the beat, back to the start |
| Trust in your heart |
| That’s the measure of a man |
| It’s the fire in the eyes, the lines on the hand |
| It’s the things you understand |
| Permanent ties from which you once ran |
| That’s the measure of a man |
| You’ve come full cirlce, now you’re home |
| Without the gold, without the chrome |
| And this is where you’ve always been |
| You had to lose so you could win |
| And rise above your troubles while you can |
| Now you can love, now you can lose |
| Now you can choose |
| That’s the measure of a man |
