Measure A Man

The Measure of a Man Lyric by David William Kirby The Dogbreaths Publishing

Measure a man by the deeds he’s done Never by the wars he’s won Measure him by his actions too Not by his clothes or shoes Value a man by his grace Towards those of another race Measure his humility And his love for you and me.. Measure a man by his volition To contemplate a state of passion To see this world free from ills Measure him by what he feels Assess a man by his common sense Never by his affluence Measure him by his charity And his love for you and me. Celebrate our difference Don’t hesitate over this His mind is more important then his skin. Love is the power with which we can measure And if it gets better It’ll hold us together It will help us value him. Value him. Measure a man by what he says And not by the tax he pays Measure him by his dreams And by his suffering Measure a man by his eyes Not by the car he drives Value him by what he sees And his love for you and me. Measure a man by his sense of fun And how he treats his woman Measure his sensitivity Not his masculinity Value a man by his smile And how he holds a child Measure his consistency To give love to you and me.
