Elton John - The Measure Of A Man Lyrics
Written by alan menkenAvailable on the soundtrack rocky vThese battered hand are all you ownThis broken heart has turned to stoneGo hang your glory on the wallThere comes a time when castles fallAnd all thats left is shifting in the sandYoure out of time, youre out of placeLook at your faceThats the measure of a manThis coat that fits you like a gloveThese dirty streets you learned to loveSo welcome back my long lost friendYouve been to hell and back againGod alone knows how you crossed that spanBack on the beat, back to the startTrust in your heartThats the measure of a manIts the fire in the eyes, the lines on the handIts the things you understandPermanent ties from which you once ranThats the measure of a manYouve come full cirlce, now youre homeWithout the gold, without the chromeAnd this is where youve always beenYou had to lose so you could winAnd rise above your troubles while you canNow you can love, now you can loseNow you can chooseThats the measure of a man
