For a Man to Be Alone

Lyrics

From the dust of the earth, God formed a man And He gave the breath of life and made him stand A garden by the river was his home But God said, "It is not good that he's alone" So, the Lord put birds and beasts upon the land And He called them all to pass before the man And Adam gave them names, to each its own But in the end, he stood among them all alone So, the Lord God put a sleep upon the man And He took a rib from Adam in His hands Then He built a living woman from the bone Because it was not good for the man to be alone It was not good for the man to be alone It's not good for a man to be alone So much to share, too much that's never known She'll be closer than a friend, his flesh and bone It's not good for a man to be alone When God brought her to the man, he took her hand And Adam said, "Since you were taken out of man Woman is your name, my flesh and bone And it's so good that I don't have to be alone" So, a man shall leave his mother and his home All he is, and all he has becomes their own For she's flesh made of his flesh, and bone of bone It's not good for a man to be alone It's not good for a man to be alone There's so much to share, too much that's never known She'll be closer than a friend, his flesh and bone It's not good for a man to be alone There's so much to share, too much that's never known She'll be closer than a friend, his flesh and bone Because it is not good for a man to be alone It's not good for a man to be alone
