[Verse 1]
Nobody
Feels the pain behind the love you show
Nobody
Feels the burden that is yours alone

[Pre-Chorus]
If when the morning comes, you're not with me (Destiny)
I know that you'll return with destiny

[Chorus]
Only you can truly understand
The measure of a hero is the measure of a man
(I wanna kiss it better, the measure of a man)
The measure of a man
(I wanna kiss it better, the measure of a man)

[Verse 2]
Your body
Bears the scars of every man I know
So softly
I wanna kiss it better, the scarlet letter
To me, it don't belong

[Pre-Chorus]
If when the morning comes, you're not with me (Destiny)
I know that you'll return with destiny
[Chorus]
Only you can truly understand
The measure of a hero is the measure of a man
(I wanna kiss it better, the measure of a man)
The measure of a man
(I wanna kiss it better, the measure of a man)

[Bridge]
Character is who you are
Character is who you are
Character is who you are
Character is who you are
Character is who you are
Character is who you are
Character is who you are
Character is who you are

[Chorus]
Only (Only), you can (You can), truly (Truly), understand
The measure (Measure), of a (Of a), hero is the measure of a man
The measure of a man

[Outro]
Only you can truly understand
The measure of a hero is the measure of a man
The measure of a man
Ooh-ooh-ooh
