If one day you discover him
Broken down, he's lost ev'rything
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?

(Chorus 1:)
Would he walk on 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 ev'ry day?
And how will you ever know
If a man is what he says?
Why do you ask him move heaven and earth
To prove his love has worth?

(Repeat chorus 1)

(Bridge:)
He never gives up
Lets go of his dreams
His world goes around
For his one true belief
Is that how you know?
Is that what it means?

(Chorus 2:)
Would he walk on 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?

(Chorus 3:)
Would he walk on 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, oh
Is that, is that
Is that how you measure a man?
