Richie Havens
Adam
In the dawning waking hourHe'll lift his head and brush his eyesWith gentle strokesThat will only blindly mislead himInto the first day of creationWhich he only sees in limitationNow he sits upon his empty bedHis heart is warm, his heart is fullAnd he can seeBut it is impossible for him to retain meFor his arms are without formHe cannot know the wordAs his mind cries out absurdNow he's standing inside the doorwayHe is afraid but he believes all that he seesOn the floorWhere everything is mergingAnd pictures he sees are tragicAs he begins to believe in magicNow he lies down in a holeDown in the ground, where it is coldAnd now he knowsNow he realizes his biggest mistakeThat he never had to grow oldThat he never had to grow cold and die
