I wonder, is there a part of me Afraid to be the man I was born to be All my life I've waited for One shining chance to be All I can and more Am I the fool who dreams what might have been Or here and now, do I begin? There comes a time when the measure of a man is taken There comes a time when at last you stand alone Right or wrong, wrong or right There's a time to believe in yourself and fight For all the dreams you won't betray For all the novel words you'll say For all those things much greater than The measure of a man Just once I'll let them know that I was here Just once before I dissappear There comes a time when the measure of a man is taken And that time is now I will turn and make my stand Win or lose, do or die Nows the time to believe in myself and try For all the dreams yet to be dreamed For all the hopes to be redeemed For all those things much greater than The measure of a man For all the things much greater than The measure of a man
