About a Man

You can tell a lot 
about the heart of a man
By the way he holds 
a crying child's hand
By the way he feels 
the need to keep peace
With those less deserving 
him being the highest of these

You can tell a lot 
about the soul of a man
By the way he works out
inside of his plans
By the does he once did
he never kept hid
By the courage he has
when he has nothing left

You can tell a lot
about the mind of a man
By the way that he minds
the peace being kept
By the thoughts that he has 
in the things that he says
You can certainly tell
a lot about a man
