The Measure of a Man Lyrics

1: Not how did he die,
but how did he live.
Not what did he gain,
but what did he give.
(x2)
R: These are the units
to measure the worth
of a man
Regardless of birth.
(x2)
2: Was he ever ready?
With a sword of good cheer?
To bring back a smile?
To banish a tear?
(x2)

R (x2)

3: Not what was his station,
but had he a heart
and how did he play
his God-given part.
(x2)
R (x4)
