Lyrics

[00:08.32] These battered hands are all you own
[00:15.13] This broken heart has turned to stone
[00:22.05] Go hang your glory on the wall
[00:26.08] There comes a time when castles fall
[00:31.72] And all that's left is shifting in the sand
[00:37.96] You're out of time, you're out of place
[00:41.28] Look at your face
[00:43.59] That's the measure of a man
[00:53.43] This coat that fits you like a glove
[01:00.36] These dirty streets you learned to love
[01:07.07] So welcome back my long lost friend
[01:11.00] You've been to hell and back again
[01:16.64] God alone knows how you crossed that span
[01:22.74] Back on the beat, back to the start
[01:26.07] Trust in your heart
[01:28.45] That's the measure of a man
[01:38.26] It's the fire in the eyes, the lines on the hand
[01:42.14] It's the things you understand
[01:45.01] Permanent ties from which you once ran
[01:49.08] That's the measure of a man
[01:55.24] You've come full circle, now you're home
[02:02.17] Without the gold, without the chrome
[02:09.05] And this is where you've always been
[02:13.01] You had to lose so you could win
[02:18.52] And rise above your troubles while you can
[02:24.65] Now you can love, now you can lose
[02:28.05] Now you can choose
[02:30.32] That's the measure of a man
[02:39.80] It's the fire in the eyes, the lines on the hand
[02:43.89] It's the things you understand
[02:46.95] Permanent ties from which you once ran
[02:50.73] That's the measure of a man
[03:11.30] You've come full circle, now you're home
[03:17.79] Without the gold, without the chrome
[03:24.69] And this is where you've always been
[03:28.51] You had to lose so you could win
[03:34.18] And rise above your troubles while you can
[03:40.36] Now you can love, now you can lose
[03:43.62] Now you can choose
[03:46.07] That's the measure of a man
