Video Taken by ROCKY V Lyric: These battered hands are all you own This broken heart just turned to stone Go hang your glory on the wall There comes a time when castles fall And all that’s left is shifting in the sand You’re out of time, you’re out of place Look at your face That’s the measure of a man This coat that fits you like a glove These dirty streets you learned to love So welcome back my long lost friend You’ve been to hell and back again And God alone knows how you crossed that span Back on the beat, back to the start Trust in your heart That’s the measure of a man It’s the fire in the eyes, the lines on the hand It’s the things you understand Permanent ties from which you once ran That’s the measure of a man You’ve come full circle, now you’re home Without the gold, without the chrome And this is where you’ve always been You had to lose so you could win And rise above your troubles while you can Now you can love, now you can lose Now you can choose That’s the measure of a man It’s the fire in the eyes, the lines on the hand It’s the things you understand Permanent ties from which you once ran That’s the measure of a man You’ve come full circle, now you’re home Without the gold, without the chrome And this is where you’ve always been You had to lose so you could win And rise above your troubles while you can Now you can love, now you can lose Now you can choose That’s the measure of a man

The only good thing to come out of rocky v, Was this………
fantastic song from a fantastic movie series, simple as that
One of the best films series ever created and one of the best songs ever made. I am man enough to say I get choked up when I hear this song. It’s not easy being a man.
i cant stand this movie but i luv this song the rest our good my fav is 2 and 4
Man I love this song. Beauifull!!
Rocky v, was only good because of this song and the montage at the end in my opinion.
The Rocky films were shit but absolutely fantastic at the same time
this is a movie that teachs you many things in life i mean the 6 teach you something: never to give up whenever something bad happens to you and rocky did suffer a lot he lost his trainer his title and in a time his true self. with help of apollo, he came back and give everything he had his strengh but what he always gave was his heart. he was a warrior of life he lost 2 trainers and his wife and afterall, he continued fighting because life teach us this to go on behalf a loss. thank you
@angelitoa3a Best part of rocky 5 is this song lol

mi vengono i brividi .. bellissima canzone !! grande rocky !!
rocky 5 sucks but the other 4 my good are so fuckin kick ass my favorite is the 4
“SUE ME FOR WHAAAT??”
Love that one
This song fits perfectly with The Prince of Egypt. Doesn’t it? Man, I just love Stallone. What a great role model. … heh, man I love that guy.
never, in the story of cinema, i wanted so hard to watch the hole credits
measure of a man is how to deal with life and what it deals ya nobody hits harder then life awesome song
@WilliB1580 I think he should have left after Rocky 4
Sylvester should of left the saga at rocky 5 since this was the perfect ending to a great franchise.
I never understood the hate for this film, it’s achrome” great story. Rocky is brought back to all that matters. He may lose all the useless material possessions like the mansion and the sports cars, but he regains his self-respect. He has Adrian, his son, his family and his community in Philly. The message is, that’s all a man needs. Not riches.
Thank you for posting this. I watch this movie on tv sometimes just to see the ending credits with this song. Usually they cut it out for some stupid promo. Again thank you for posting this!
This is the best ending for an story. Rocky 6 was unnecesary.
@enigmatic0101 Why? Have you done something great in your life???
Michael Jordan, Babe Ruth, and Muhammad Ali, this song definetley fits them
