Measure Of A Man

I can still remember
His words rang out so clear
Seek and you shall find
A message I hold dear
Living by example
Helped me understand
What it truly means
The measure of a man

With strength and love and courage
Be gentle in your ways
Dig beneath the surface
Workin' through the maze
Don't be afraid to stumble
Just do the best you can
Get back up, and then you'll know
The measure of a man

I carry on this road
And with every step I take
His memory keeps me going
The bond will never break
His song within my heart
His strength is in my hands
The message is of love
And the measure of a man
