I am so far away

And it's more than I can take

I haven't heard your voice in days

I haven't heard your voice in days

What is the measure of a man

Is it wading through the worst

Or is the measure of a man

Admitting when he is defeated

But I am not and will not be defeated

I have given everything in my life for this

I'm counting down the days

Though I've been broken and beaten

I know I can't let it I know I can't let it win

This feeling that there is nothing left

That my purpose is gone

These views they never cease

To keep me from myself and who I am

So what makes the measure of a man

Is it being too stubborn to let go of the good and move on

But I am not and will not be defeated

I will wade through the worst of it all

I'm counting down the days

Though I've been broken and beaten

I am not done with this

I know I will not fall

This is my deepest dream

Or is this a nightmare in disguise

What makes the measure of a man

Is it always trying to do right

I'm' so far away

And I don't know if it's more than I can take

With these views that never cease to keep me from myself

With these views they never cease to keep me from myself

I will keep moving forward when I have nothing left

I am not and will not be defeated

I've given everything in my life for this

But I am not and will not be defeated

I've given everything in my life for this
