ELTON JOHN - The Measure Of A Man lyrics

rate me

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