1
These battered hands are all you own
2
This broken heart has turned to stone
3
Go hang your glory on the wall
4
There comes a time when castles fall
5
And all that's left is shifting in the sand
6
You're out of time, you're out of place
7
Look at your face
8
That's the measure of a man
9
This coat that fits you like a glove
10
These dirty streets you learned to love
11
So welcome back my long lost friend
12
You've been to hell and back again
13
God alone knows how you crossed that span
14
Back on the beat, back to the start
15
Trust in your heart
16
That's the measure of a man
17
It's the fire in the eyes, the lines on the hand
18
It's the things you understand
19
Permanent ties from which you once ran
20
That's the measure of a man
21
You've come full circle, now you're home
22
Without the gold, without the chrome
23
And this is where you've always been
24
You had to lose so you could win
25
And rise above your troubles while you can
26
Now you can love, now you can lose
27
Now you can choose
28
That's the measure of a man
29
It's the fire in the eyes, the lines on the hand
30
It's the things you understand
31
Permanent ties from which you once ran
32
That's the measure of a man
33
You've come full circle, now you're home
34
Without the gold, without the chrome
35
And this is where you've always been
36
You had to lose so you could win
37
And rise above your troubles while you can
38
Now you can love, now you can lose
39
Now you can choose
40
That's the measure of a man
