How do you determine the worth of a man?
Is it measured in accordance with the dollars he's made,
The places he's been,
Or in the beds he's laid?
Does it correllate with the amounts of shoes he possesses,
The cars he drives,
Or the clothes in which he dresses?
To society these things may amount to much
But his worth is measured by the amounts of hearts that he's managed to touch
The people he's helped up when fallen down
The amount of smiles he's been able to transpire from a frown
A man's worth isn't a material thing,
It's an outward manifestation of the amount of joy that he brings
Is it measured in accordance with the dollars he's made,
The places he's been,
Or in the beds he's laid?
Does it correllate with the amounts of shoes he possesses,
The cars he drives,
Or the clothes in which he dresses?
To society these things may amount to much
But his worth is measured by the amounts of hearts that he's managed to touch
The people he's helped up when fallen down
The amount of smiles he's been able to transpire from a frown
A man's worth isn't a material thing,
It's an outward manifestation of the amount of joy that he brings
Don't let things determine who you are
Be someone who let's their actions speak for themselves
Be someone who let's their actions speak for themselves
(City in California)
