The Measure Of A Man - Elton John lyrics
THE MEASURE OF A MAN
Written by Alan Menken
Performed by Elton John
These battered hands are all you own
This broken heart has[just] 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
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
It's the fire in the eyes, the lines on the hand
It's the things you understand
The 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
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
