A Peaceful Man

Lenny Gorman died today, I did not know him well.
But what I knew of him, he was a peaceful man, and once I met him I could tell.
A peaceful man, a peaceful man,
God chose this man to be.
A simple man, a peaceful life,
affirms how life could be.... for me.
Lenny knew it was OK to be just how you are.
To follow what your heart tells you will carry your life far ... so far.
A peaceful man, a peaceful man,
God chose this man to be.
A simple man, a peaceful life,
affirms how life could me.... for me.
I never heard an unkind word or saw a compromise of value, method and good will, a model for the rest of us...
If we could just realize...
A peaceful man, a peaceful man,
God chose this man to be.
A simple man, a peaceful life,
affirms how life could me.... for me.
So Lenny Gorman left a gift, and he don't even know.
If I can try and live like him, the love in me will grow... yes I know it's so...
I'll be a peaceful man, I'll be a peaceful man,
God choose this man to be.
I'll live a simple life; I'll live a peaceful life,
confirms my life for me.... for me.
A peaceful man, a peaceful man,
God chose this man to be.
A simple man, a peaceful life,
affirms how life could me.... for me.
