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
Move heaven and earth
To prove his love has worth?



Would he walk on the water?
Would he run through fire?
Would he stand before you
When it's 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 your finger
Would that be deep enough
At the end of every day?
And how will you ever know
If the man is what he says?



Why do you ask him
Move heaven and earth
To prove he his love has worth?



Would he walk on the water?
Would he run through fire?
Would he stand before you 
When it's 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?



He never gives up
Let's go of his dreams
His world goes around
For his one true belief
Is that how you know?
Is that what it means?



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



Would he walk on the water?
Would he run through fire?
Would he stand before you
When it's down to the wire?
Would he give his life up
To be all he can?
Is that , is that, is that
How you measure oh-woh
Is that, is that, is that
How you measure a man?
