These battered hands are all you own
This broken heart just turned to stone
Go hang your glory on the wall
There comes a time when castles fall

And all that's left is shifting in the sand

You're out of time, you're out of place
Look at your face
That's 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
You've 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
That's the measure of a man

It's the fire in the eyes, the lines on the hand
It's the things you understand
Permanent ties from which you once ran
That's the measure of a man

You've come full circle, now you're home
Without the gold, without the chrome
And this is where you've always been
You had to lose so you could win

And rise above your troubles while you can
Taken from AlbumSongAndLyrics.com
Now you can love, now you can lose
Now you can choose
That's the measure of a man
