Adam The Inventor
Early in the morning
Just as the sun was rising
Adam started inventing things
And the results were surprising
Later in the morning
The sun was getting higher
Adam made a discovery
He learned to handle fire
He invented spears, invented guns
Invented arrow and bow
Ah, what is it now he's going to invent?
Sometimes I don't want to know
Invented language, invented words
Invented alphabets
Ah, but when it comes to communicating
Sometimes he was deaf
Conquered desert, conquered ice
Conquered ocean and shore
Conquered every animal beside himself
And Adam invented war
Adam, brilliant Adam, so brilliant
You're made blind
Inventing some new kind of world
With no place for mankind
Well, stamp your foot we've got one earth
All around us, one ocean of water
And just one ocean of air
Can we break the grip of this dance of death?
Can this world be released?
Will Adam's children the young inventors
Will they now invent peace?
Well, some will scoff and some will scorn
But what makes them so certain?
Adam's children might surprise us all
And built anew the garden
