Measure Of A Man

Thought of sharing yet another song lyric.. This time it's Clay Aiken's, I don't think I need to tell you that he was the runner up for American Idol 2, right? I love his powerful yet soothing voice, and he clearly brings out his emotions in this song. Ooh.. Not forgetting, the wonderful, melodious sound of the piano at the background.. ;) This is probably the best song ever by him!

I think the title says it all.. How do you measure a man? How do you know how much does his love worth? Is it fair to judge him from the material stuffs he own? Or to make him do things that are beyond his nature, like run through fire, and die for you? True enough, who wouldn't want to have their own knight in shining armor - handsome, tough and heroic? But at the end of the day, do all these matter? I'd say to look beyond all these, to look into his heart instead. Would you like it if your other half measure you and your love this way as well? Think about it..

If one day you discover him
Broken down, he's lost everything
No cars, no fancy clothes to make him who he's not
The woman at his side is all that he has got
Why do you ask him to move heaven and earth
To prove his love has worth?

* Would he walk on water
Would he run through fire
Would he stand before you
When it is down to the wire
Would he give his life up to be all he can
Is that, is that, is that how you measure a man?

If by chance all he had to give you
Was three words wrapped around his finger
Would that be deep enough at the end of every day
And how will you ever know
If a man is what he says?

Why do you ask him to move heaven and earth
To prove his love has worth?

Repeat *

He never give up that broken dream
His world goes around in wonder it seems
Is that how you know, is that what it means?

Would he walk on water
Would he run through fire
Would he stand before you
Would he be your anchor when the dark unfolds
Would he always love you the best that he knows?
Would he give his life up to be all that he can
Is that, is that, is that how you measure a man?

Repeat *

Is that, is that, is that, how you measure a man?
