Measure of a Man

Clay Aiken-Measure Of A Man
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
Chorus: 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
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 everyday?
And how will you ever know
If the man is what he says?
Chorus
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?
Hey
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
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
How you measure
Is that
How you measure a man?

Ok, yes, that song is by Clay Aiken. Make fun of me if you wish. But I would ask you to please read the lyrics. This song has a really good point. It applies to girls and to boys. How do you measure someone? You can't. Because you don't know the secrets of their hearts. You don't know their thoughts. Which brings me to this point, if you can't read minds, how do you really know someone? How do you know what they want, and what they think, or care for? People say "oh, they wouldn't do that. I know them." Do you really know them? People are so...impossible to predict. Sure, some people stick with the same routines forever, but people can do things that they wouldn't usually do. People make mistakes, people change. It may be for the better, it may not be. The song also asks what you would do for people that you love. How far are you willing to go for someone, and is it for the right reason? And if you don't truly know that person, how can you go so far out there for them? So that's my pondering for the day. I bet you thought I was going to have an answer for that question. Nope. It's a genuine question. It's what I've been thinking about today. Sorry if it doesn't make any sense, I'm just sorta rambling...
Anyway, have a nice day.
