You're gonna get a million answers to what's the measure of a man
From the softness of his heart to the hardness of his hand
Its always been the same old question ever since this world began
But a man can't learn a lesson that he don't understand

Any fool can pull the trigger, anyone can start a fight
But to love is so much bigger, so beyond what's black or white
And if we're gonna give our children a future that is bright
Then the truth must be the answer, and love must be the light

The hardest thing you'll ever do is tell someone you're sorry
You'll never be the bravest man if you can't admit you're scared
In what you do, in what you say
Strength, it's gonna take to stay
Comes from somewhere high up above
That's the courage to love

If you're gonna give yourself to somebody else
Then you gotta love someone more than yourself

The hardest thing you'll ever do is tell someone you're sorry
You'll never be the bravest man if you can't admit you're scared
In what you do, in what you say
All the pain to walk away
Comes from somewhere high up above
It's the power, it's the courage
Oh it's beautiful!
It's the courage to love
