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
