From the recording Thinking of you-Song for Jack Layton
A song I wrote to honour Jack Layton, A Great Canadian!
Jack and I have worked together many, many times over the 25 years or so that we have known each other. He was a great man, a good friend, fearless leader and the most tolerant person I have ever met.
I will miss you terribly Jack! Sleep well my friend and thank you for all that you have done for this country and all who take shelter here.
You will never be forgotten
Lyrics
Spirit of a lion- with the heart of the lamb
Made it his life's work
to help his fellow man
No problem too big-no arena too small
In his quest for social justice
a better world for all
How I wished it wasn't true
when I heard the news today
How I wish that you were here
There's still so much to say
Now I gotta be more than I used to be
Gotta remember, till we all are
none are free
Thinking of you, thinking about you, thinking of you .. Just reminded me
Thinking of you, thinking about you, thinking of you ..
Just reminded, just reminded, just reminded me
Spirit of a lion- with the heart of the lamb
Made it his life's workto help his fellow man
No problem too big-no arena too small
In his quest for social justice
a better world for all
How I wished it wasn't true
when I heard the news today
How I wish that you were here
There's still so much to say
Now I gotta be more than I used to be
Gotta remember, till we all arenone are free
Thinking of you, thinking about you, thinking of you .. Just reminded me
Thinking of you, thinking about you, thinking of you ..
Just reminded, just reminded, just reminded me
