[00:00.00]Adam (Album Version) - Richie Havens
[00:21.57]In the dawning wakening hour
[00:24.59]He'll lift his head and brush his eyes
[00:28.49]With gentle strokes
[00:32.53]That will only blindly mislead him
[00:40.21]Into the first day of creation
[00:48.13]Which he only sees in limitation
[00:55.64]Mmmm
[01:01.57]Now he sits upon his empty bed
[01:04.91]His heart is warm his heart is full
[01:08.74]And he can see
[01:12.85]But it is impossible for him to retain me
[01:20.85]For his arms are without form
[01:28.25]He cannot know the word
[01:34.36]As his mind cries out absurd
[01:42.30]Mmmm
[01:46.16]Now he's standing inside the doorway
[01:49.48]He is afraid but he believes
[01:53.42]All that he sees
[01:57.62]On the floor
[02:01.83]Where everything is merging
[02:11.35]And pictures he sees are tragic
[02:18.83]As he begins to believe in magic
[02:27.23]Mmmm
[02:34.68]Now he lies down in a hole
[02:37.66]Down in the ground where it is cold
[02:41.90]And now he knows
[02:47.73]Now he realizes his biggest mistake
[02:55.42]That he never had to grow old
[03:03.04]And he never had to grow cold and die
[03:18.50]Mmmm
