Elton John – The Measure Of A Man These battered hands are all you own This broken heart has turned to stone These dirty streets you learned to love So welcome back my long lost friend Youve 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 Thats the measure of a man Go hang your glory on the wall There comes a time when castles fall And all thats left is shifting in the sand Youre out of time, youre out of place Look at your face Thats 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 Youve 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 Thats the measure of a man Its the fire in the eyes, the lines on the hand Its the things you understand Permanent ties from which you once ran Thats the measure of a man Youve come full circle, now youre home Without the gold, without the chrome And this is where youve 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 Thats the measure of a man Its the fire in the eyes, the lines on the hand Its the things you understand Permanent ties from which you once ran Thats the measure of a man Youve come full circle, now youre home Without the gold, without the chrome And this is where youve 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 Thats the measure of a man
